Special Notice – GVS OTA, Advanced Algorithm Decision Aid Capability (A2DAC).

This is a  special notice that the Government intends to issue a Request for White Paper (RWP)/Request for Prototype Proposals (RPP) for the Prototype A2DAC under the Ground Vehicle Systems (GVS) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), W15QKN-17-9-1025. The GVS OTA was entered into between the Army Contracting Command (ACC) and the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) on 26 September 2017, in support of Ground Vehicle System Related Research and Development prototype projects. The Government will utilize the GVS OTA to award this effort.

The intent of this project is to develop a new A2DAC that will run on low computing hardware for military combat platforms. The new A2DAC shall provide air and ground platforms with the capability to optimally manage effects and coordinate fires by utilizing autonomous collaboration in dynamic environments in support of Multi Domain Operations (MDO). The algorithms for the new A2DAC shall have distributed architectures for modularity and scalability, application software in a development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) environment, standardized data interfaces, and implementation hardware shall be compatible with and conform to Army mandated protocols, hardware/software specifications, and must be an open architecture system with complete documentation for military systems.
