- Description
- A.� United States Army (U.S. Army) Rotary Wing Contingency Communications System (RWCC) requires Ku-Band services for through-the-rotors, airborne broadband SATCOM.� Managed Ku-Band SIMOP subscription service and the required teleport hosted Net Aggregation and ISP access will provide communications for Senior Department of Defense (DoD) personnel during critical U.S. Army support for critical DoD missions while onboard U.S. Army aircraft.� These SIMOPs will provide helicopter passengers uninterruptible and seamless connectivity to DoD networks like that available in their office environments while in flight within a coverage area of 250 nautical miles around the National Capital Region (NCR) (CONUS Only).� This managed SIMOP service must allow the US Army to port SIMOP subscriptions between multiple aircraft as determined by U.S. Army mission needs. � B.� The US Army Aircraft also utilize a Net Agility SDWAN Cellular System, including PacStar Chassis, PacStar 451, PacStar 444, & Cradelpoint IBR900 (x2) hardware as part of its network architecture, which also requires teleport services including Net Agility Data Aggregation using a cloud-based virtual software-defined networking (vSDN) platform, bridging disparate networks (data streams from cellular networks) and distributed cloud resources to enable robust and resilient connectivity, providing simultaneous routes for bonded packets over all available communications links, both COMSATCOM and cellular data streams, providing a powerful and responsive solution, and will rely on the contractor's existing Internet Service Provider (ISP) for access to the internet for data, voice, and video calls (VTC). C.� The anticipated timeframe for service start is 01 Jul 2024.
