The Problem
Modern military operations require agile and resilient logistics in contested environments. Traditional logistics systems struggle to integrate data from disparate sources across Army platforms, and the Army is interested in enhancing their capability to rapidly handle changing situations, disruptions, and adversarial actions. Data from logistics systems such as the JBCP and GCSS-A could be easier to understand and action if displayed in a more user-centric format. The solution should include technology that provides commanders with a comprehensive logistics awareness and decision-making tool that is easy to understand and accessible in a denied environment.
The Opportunity
The Army wants companies to develop a predictive logistics software solution, to be used at the Brigade level and below, capable of operating in contested environments, providing real-time tracking, predictive analysis, and suggested Courses of Action (COAs) to optimize logistical flow and facilitate mission success.
AAL expects to issue one or more awards, with an estimated total funding of $4 million across all awards combined. The expected period of performance for this effort is 18 months.
