This is a Request for Information (RFI) to support market research for a potential future acquisition of a Tactical Air Traffic Control Command and Control System (TACOS), designed to replace legacy expeditionary ATC systems with a modular, scalable, and survivable solution for contested environments. The system must deliver capabilities including multi-level secure data fusion, resilient communications, interoperability with joint and coalition networks, support for UAS/CCA platforms, cybersecurity and EMP survivability, and AI/ML decision aids. Participation is limited to registered U.S. contractors, and the government will not pay for responses. Solutions should be actionable within the next two years. This RFI does not commit the government to any contractual agreement.

The Air Force is seeking information for a potential future acquisition of a Tactical Air Traffic Control (ATC) Command and Control (C2) System (TACOS), designed to be a modular, scalable, and survivable expeditionary system for contested environments. Solutions should be actionable within the next two years. The system must be transportable on a single 463L pallet, operable by a small crew, and capable of rapid deployment. Performance of services is managed by the Aerospace Management Systems Division at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. This is a Request for Information (RFI) only, not a solicitation, and no contract will result from this notice.

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry input for a potential future acquisition of a Tactical Air Traffic Control Command and Control System (TACOS), designed to replace legacy expeditionary ATC systems with a modular, scalable, and survivable platform for contested environments. The system must be deployable by a small team within hours, operate within a 20-by-20-foot footprint, and be transportable on a single 463L pallet, with solutions expected to be actionable within the next two years. Key capabilities include a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), multi-level secure data fusion, resilient multi-path communications, and interoperability with joint and coalition networks, as well as support for advanced platforms like UAS and Collaborative Combat Aircraft. The system must also feature cyber survivability, AI/ML decision aids, automated safety alerts, and high reliability with an operational availability of at least 0.999. Performance of services is anticipated to be at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, though no budget amounts are specified in this RFI.
