Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, through W6QK ACC-APG, has issued a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) for the Radio frequency (RF) Delivered Effects Platform – Portable 2.0 (RDEP-P2). This initiative seeks a flexible, efficient, and CMOSS-compatible CEMA (Counter-Electromagnetic Activities) system to provide secure, adaptable, and interoperable RF capabilities for the U.S. Army. Responses are accepted until March 14, 2026.
Scope of Work
The desired system must:
- Seamlessly integrate various payload cards (e.g., general-purpose processing, graphical processing, storage, networking, RF switching, SDRs, PNT, tactical radio, ASICs).
- Be fully compliant with VICTORY and MORA standards.
- Operate in both unclassified and classified environments.
- Be lightweight (sum of components <=100 lbs) and portable, allowing for rapid setup (within 10 minutes by a single operator) in stationary, ground-vehicular, and airborne-vehicular configurations.
- Feature an intuitive GUI that integrates with established military capabilities like the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK).
- Allow for direct re-provisioning of CMOSS cards within the chassis.
- Enable remote control of RF platforms over-the-air (OTA) and be compatible with U.S. Army fielded IP communications platforms.
- Support OTA data transmission across relevant Army Programs of Record.
- Optional: Offerors may propose the integration of a Blue small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) to extend range and situational awareness.
