Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, specifically the Capability Program Executive Simulation, Training, Testing, and Threat (CPE ST3), Product Lead Threat Systems Management Office (PL TSMO), has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Threat Systems Operations and Maintenance Support Services (TSOMIS). This RFI seeks industry capabilities for providing operation and maintenance (O&M) support for existing and future threat systems, focusing on Electronic Warfare (EW), Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Warfare Support (ES), and Cyberspace Operations (CO) training. Responses are due by April 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST.
Scope of Work
The TSOMIS effort will focus on O&M-related service support, not major systems development. This includes sustainment of the existing threat fleet and operation of current and future test assets such as Direction Finding (DF), Communications Jamming, Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS), and various Radar Emissions. The services aim to provide a "RED" Commander with real-time responses in a "free play" environment for test and training events at Combat Training Centers (CTCs) and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. TSMO's mission involves threat emulation, including jamming and the use of a Threat Battle Command Force (TBCF), and Red Teaming through a CYBERCOM accredited Red Team.
