Description
The solicitation seeks prototype solutions for a modular, open mission engine (OMEN) to support aircrew operating in contested environments. The engine should enable rapid development and deployment of mission applications, starting with a Tactical Moving Map tool that enhances situational awareness and decision support under degraded communication conditions. Proposals may address one or more technical lines of effort including the open mission engine and SDK, the tactical moving map application, and data integration and interoperability. Successful prototypes may lead to follow-on production contracts without further competition.
