The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center, Advanced Battle Management Systems (ABMS) Chief Architect Integration Office (CAIO) releases the Broad Agency Announcement for Advanced Battle Management Systems (ABMS)Announcement Number: BAA-AFLCMC_CAIO-2020-0001Issue Date: 28 February 2020NOTEThis is only an announcement; PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT PROPOSALS IN RESPONSE. Subsequent calls will be issued under this announcement to solicit proposals for specific efforts. Please refer to the attachment section of this announcement for the calls. Publication of this announcement does not obligate the DoD to review any white papers submission beyond an initial administrative review, or to award any specific project, or to obligate any available funds.Executive SummaryIn order to effectively engage peer and near-peer adversaries, the U.S. Air Force needs to develop, acquire and operate systems as a unified force across all domains (air, land, sea, space, cyber, and electromagnetic spectrum). The Department of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office (DAFRCO) in partnership with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Command, Control, Communication for Battle Management (AFLCMC/C3) seeks to develop a cross-cutter portfolio of complimentary/ linked projects and programs to support Joint All-Domain Command & Control (JADC2) and the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS). The Air Force intends to facilitate the rapid exploration and maturation of innovative technologies. The Air Force will support future operations by providing the critical surveillance, tactical edge communications, processing, networking, and battle management command and control capabilities to the joint warfighting force. ABMS is not envisioned as a single program of record, but rather an open architecture family of systems that enables capabilities via multiple integrated platforms. ABMS will realize the vision of JADC2 to enhance and expand capabilities by enabling any sensor to inform any shooter in any domain—land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. In an interview with Air Force Magazine in April 2019, General Goldfein stated, “It is a significant move for the Air Force to shift from a platform solution on command and control and battle management to a network solution going forward, and our future in the business of joint warfighting is to ensure that we’re taking every sensor and every shooter and connecting them together to overwhelm an adversary”. Our aim is to have intelligence and targeting data transformed into timely and actionable information through trusted networks and intelligent algorithms that enable our people to focus on decisions. In this construct, information is a service, rather than a platform, and the layers of sensing and the communication pathways will provide reliability and assurance in contested environments.General InformationFederal Agency Name: AFLCMC/C3Broad Agency Announcement Title: Advanced Battle Management SystemBroad Agency Announcement Type: This is the initial announcement.Broad Agency Announcement Number: BAA-AFLCMC_CAIO-2020-0001Closing Date: This BAA will remain open until 31 December 2026, unless superseded, amended, or cancelled.
