Quick Summary
The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) and Naval Information Warfare Centers (NIWC) Atlantic and Pacific are hosting an Information Warfare Research Project (IWRP) Consortium Virtual Industry Day on February 18, 2026, at 1300 Eastern Time. This event, managed by Advanced Technology International (ATI), will provide advanced notification of government intent regarding upcoming Requests for Prototype Projects (RPPs) and Pre-Solicitation Collaboration (PSC) opportunities.
Purpose
This Special Notice serves as a planning announcement to inform IWRP consortium members and industry about potential future projects. It is not an RPP, and no project will be awarded from this announcement. The primary goal is to provide early insight into anticipated requirements.
Key Topics
The Industry Day will present two main topics:
- RPP: Naval Tactical Command Support System (NTCSS) Architecture Refactor (26-LANT-3214)
- PSC: Leveraging Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN) Waveform Development Kit (26-PAC-3234)
The PSC specifically seeks a prototype of containerized software implementations for layer 1 and layer 2 HF waveforms, utilizing the existing BFTN software framework.
