    Data Correlation Fusion RFI.pdf
    The Space Systems Command (SSC) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather input on advanced correlation and fusion processing for the Combatant Commanders Integrated Command and Control System (CCIC2S). This initiative supports the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex-Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (NCMC-ITW/AA) Program Office, aiming to enhance real-time processing capabilities by integrating traditional and non-traditional data sources. As new threats emerge, innovative solutions are needed to improve data accuracy and tracking for timely decision-making. The RFI specifically seeks vendors with expertise in developing solutions to support advanced data integration and processing for military operations. Interested parties are requested to submit white papers outlining their capabilities by December 12, 2024, addressing key needs such as low-latency data geolocation, software and hardware adaptations, and interoperability enhancements. The document clarifies that this RFI does not constitute a commitment to issue a formal proposal or contract and emphasizes that any submissions become government property. The SSC may engage with potential respondents for further clarification of their capabilities. Risk management, security requirements, and a focus on technical competencies are highlighted as critical elements of the response to this RFI, which is part of the government's broader strategy to ensure robust defense systems.
