The Department of the Army, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/U.S. Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT), has a continuing requirement for information integration and data exploitation for TSA 1, Enhanced Warfighter Capabilities and TSA 2, Information Integration and Data Exploitation.

USASMDC/ARSTRAT requires a contractual vehicle that will fulfill a gap in ability to design, develop, demonstrate and integrate products focused on the development of space, missile defense, high altitude capabilities, and other requirements identified in paragraph 2.0 that enable the Army Warfighter to effectively support USSTRATCOM, other Combatant Commands (COCOMs) and Department of Defense (DOD) and other Government agencies in the mission areas of Strategic Deterrence, Global Strike, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and other areas. It is anticipated that Design, Development, Demonstration, and Integration (D3I) Domain 1 will provide USASMDC/ARSTRAT with the ability to procure a broad range of missile defense, space and other applicable Warfighter solutions in support of customers’ developmental and operational requirements.

The D3I program will be utilized to conduct research for the development of hardware components and software solutions for space, high altitude, missile defense, Information Integration and Data Exploitation, and Enhanced Warfighter Capabilities. Material and hardware products will be deliverable end items. The resulting program requirements will include component testing, and integration of prototypes into systems and subsystems, which can be tested in a laboratory or relevant environment. Limited testing will be conducted in an operational environment for transition/integration into an operational system. The program also includes, but is not limited to, providing anticipated solutions to include design, development, demonstration, and integration of future capability gap architectures, technologies, test and evaluation, integration and operations requirements. The efforts defined follow an evolutionary development of systems architecture focused on a “Concept to Combat” philosophy. The D3I program will be used to implement programs including, but not limited to:

• Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (ACTDs)
• Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATDs)
• The Missile Defense Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP)

The contract will support organizations to include but not limited to:

• USASMDC/ARSTRAT
• USSTRATCOM
• Other Combatant Commanders
• Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)
• Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO)
• Department of the Army (DA)
• PEO Missiles and Space, Missile Defense Agency (MDA)
• S. Air Force (USAF)
• Navy
• Marine Corps
• Department of Energy (DOE)
• National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
• Allies
• Other Government agencies in the mission areas of:
  • Strategic Deterrence
  • Global Strike
  • Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)
  • Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
  • Cyberspace
  • Homeland Defense and Information Operations
  • Other requirements related to:
    • Space
    • High altitude
    • Missile defense
    • Ground systems
    • Information integration and data exploitation
    • Enhanced Warfighter capabilities

The resulting program will provide the Command and its customers with the ability to procure a broad range of missile defense, space and other applicable Warfighter solutions in support of developmental and operational requirements.

U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/U.S. Army Forces Strategic Command (SMDC/ARSTRAT) conducts space and missile defense operations and provides planning, integration, control and coordination of Army forces and capabilities in support of US Strategic Command missions; serves as the Army specified proponent for space, high altitude, and ground-based mid-course defense; serves as the Army operational integrator for global missile defense; and conducts mission-related research and development in support of Army Title 10 responsibilities and serves as the focal point for desired characteristics and capabilities in support of USSTRATCOM missions.
