Description

Purpose

This Special Notice is issued to provide awareness of the release of a Request for Solutions (RFS) for an other transaction project in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4022. The RFS, Mission Engineering Automation Testbed (MEAT), opportunity has been issued as part of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trust Systems (S2MARTS) consortium managed by National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL) and administered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division. 

Background and Summary Other Transaction Consortium

Vendors interested in responding to this RFS must be members of the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted Systems (S2MARTS) Consortium. Interested parties may visit S2MARTS.org for membership information.

Project Overview

The government is seeking to further establish prototypes within the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) environment to analyze joint force capabilities. The goal of these Prototypes Developed are to perform Mission Engineering (ME) and LVC integration. The overarching goal of prototypes developed across these mission engineering domains is to establish a secure, interoperable, and automated ecosystem that accelerates the integration of advanced modeling, simulation, and analytics capabilities into Live, Virtual, and Constructive Environments. These prototypes aim to enable seamless tool interoperability, support multi-level security and cross-domain data exchange, and foster open architecture alignment for scalable enterprise-wide adoption.
