Quick Summary

The Department of the Army, specifically the 418th Contracting Brigade, has issued a pre-solicitation notice of its intent to award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to Ultra Advanced Tactical Systems for a one-year subscription to their Virtual Air Defense Systems Integrator (V-ADSI) software. This acquisition, valued at an estimated $21,750, is crucial for integrating and visualizing air defense data. Capability statements from other interested parties are due by April 27, 2026.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for a one-year subscription license for the V-ADSI software, which functions as a critical, standalone tactical data system. Key capabilities include:

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