Quick Summary

The 418th Contracting Brigade, on behalf of the 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, has issued a Pre-solicitation Notice of its intent to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Ultra Advanced Tactical Systems for a one-year subscription license for Virtual Air Defense Systems Integrator (V-ADSI) software. This software is critical for integrating and visualizing air defense data.

Scope of Work

The V-ADSI software provides a standalone tactical data system with key capabilities:

Interoperability: Supports over 300 tactical data link and radar protocols (U.S., NATO, allied forces), including Link 16 and JREAP.
Advanced Functions: Offers gateway and multi-link forwarding capabilities.
Common Operating Picture (COP): Ability to create a COP from disparate military sensor feeds.
Deployment: Rapid deployment on standard government-furnished laptops and tablets.
