U.S. Army unveiled the Rapid Electromagnetic Warfare & Signals Intelligence Commercial Solutions Offering (REWSI) on Thursday, seeking industry solutions for electronic warfare and signals intelligence to build a library of commercial technologies, Breaking Defense reported.
REWSI, introduced by the Capability Program Executive Intelligence and Spectrum Warfare (CPE ISW), forms part of the Army's push to reinvigorate its electromagnetic spectrum capabilities by embracing commercial solutions over bespoke ones.
' The library will serve as a repository for white papers and indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) efforts, acting as a one-stop-shop for units to identify possible solutions for electronic warfare and signals operational needs, according to a CPE ISW spokesperson.
If a desired capability is not in the library, the commercial solutions offering provides a path to quickly prototype and assess operational utility before procuring, the CPE ISW spokesperson stated. Evaluations of proposals will be conducted on a continuous, rolling basis throughout the 12-month open period of the CSO.
Specific testing parameters for those selected for step two pitch session and vendor technical demonstration may entail detailed laboratory, environmental, and threat-emulation parameters, according to the CPE ISW spokesperson. ' The commercial solutions offering aims to produce a library that will provide options for units to determine what capabilities meet their structure and mission.
