US Army Project Manager Battle Command (PM BC) Development IDIQ

The Battle Command family of products development acquisition effort provides a contractual vehicle for providing development support across the maneuver, fire support, sustainment, strategic and operational C2 domains as well as the Battle Command common service-oriented software infrastructure and applications.

The types of work expected to be performed under the IDIQ task orders include:

• Software development of Battle Command products (consisting of systems, applications and service-oriented software) under a service-oriented architecture and network centric environment under the Army’s approved migration plan;
• Development to support functional and System of Systems (SoS) requirements for BC products (interoperability, specific performance improvements, SoS requirements, specific user prioritized system needs);
• Maintenance of legacy product baselines in the transition period to a full service-oriented network centric architecture;
• Integration activities at the system level based on integration of system specific and SoS service-oriented software;
• System and operational level testing; and
• Product level logistics support

The current and future Battle Command products and service-oriented software to be involved in the scope of this effort include:

• Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems (AFATDS)
• Battle Command Common Services (BCCS)
• Battle Command Sustainment Support System (BCS3)
• Centaur
• Common Software (CS) services
• Command Post of the Future (CPOF)
• Global Command and Control System Army (GCCS-A)
• Gun Display Unit replacement (GDU-R)
• Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS)
• Maneuver Control System (MCS)
• Network Enabled Command and Control System (NECC)
• Pocket Sized Forward Entry Device (PFED) and Lightweight Forward Entry Device (LFED)
• Theater Effects Based Operations (TEBO)
