- SYNOPSIS
The United States (U.S.) Army, Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (PEO IEW&S), Project Manager Intelligence & Analytics (PM IS&A), and Product Manager Intelligence Systems (PdM IS) are issuing this Request For Information (RFI) as a means of conducting market research to help scope a future contract activity.
- INTRODUCTION
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. The purpose of this posting is to notify industry of an RFI regarding the production of the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN).
MISSION: TITAN is a scalable and expeditionary intelligence ground station that supports commanders across the entire Joint All Domain Operations (JADO) battlefield framework with capabilities tailored to echelon. TITAN leverages Space and High Altitude, Aerial, and Terrestrial layer sensors to provide target nominations directly to fires command and control networks as well as multi-discipline intelligence support to targeting and Situational Awareness (SA)/Situational Understanding (SU) in support of mission command.
DESCRIPTION: TITAN is the next-generation, Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled, expeditionary, maneuverable intelligence ground station to support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO), Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO), and Long-Range Precision Fires (LRPF) providing Multi-Domain Deep Sensing, Analysis and Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED). TITAN will receive sensor data from Space, High Altitude, Aerial, and Terrestrial layer sensors to provide actionable targeting information directly to fires networks as well as multi-discipline intelligence support to targeting and Situational Awareness (SA)/Situational Understanding (SU) in support of mission command.
SYSTEM INTERDEPENDENCIES:
• ISR Sensors (Space, Aerial and Terrestrial)
PROGRAM STATUS:
• Currently under Middle Tier Acquisition Pathway – Rapid Prototyping
• Transitioning in FY26 with the start of a Production Phase to:
• Major Capability Acquisition for Hardware.
• Software Acquisition for Software.

- RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS
Responses related to this Government issued RFI are due no later than 04 September 2024, 5:00pm (close of business) in the form of a whitepaper.
Responses shall be sent via email address to: justin.a.brown.civ@army.mil and gregory.p.faragher.civ@army.mil; Subject Line: “PEO IEW&S RFI - TITAN”.
The whitepaper should not exceed 10 pages, not including the cover. The whitepaper must address the following information requests listed below.
The Government is requesting the following information from Industry:
- Please include the following Company overview information with your response:
- Company name, NAICS, and CAGE code
- Company size and locations
- Traditional/non-traditional defense contractor
- Point of contact and email address
- A narrative that describes how the software solution will:
- Satisfy each item in the desired capabilities and features listed in paragraph 5.
- The ability to host the software solution in a virtual environment, to include a commercial cloud or fixed hardware. Please include CPU, RAM, and storage requirements for the software solution
- BACKGROUND
The Army’s pivot to Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) has underscored a critical need for modernized Army Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance data processing ground station that will consolidate the sensor processing capabilities in the current Operational-Intelligence Ground Station (OGS), Tactical Intelligence Ground Station, the Advanced Miniaturized Data Acquisition System Dissemination Vehicle, and the Remote Ground Terminal into a tailored package suitable for Multi Domain Operations. Additionally, TITAN will have the access and sensor tasking or control capabilities of the future Tactical Space Layer assets, National assets, the Multi-Domain Sensing Systems, and commercial overhead sensors. Consequently, the TITAN system would be able to conduct deep sensing operations with the ability to Task, Collect, Process, Exploit, and Disseminate information from Space, High Altitude, Aerial, and Terrestrial Layer sensors, in support of Long-Range Precision Fires.
- REQUESTED INFORMATION
Use the following assumptions to answer the questions to the best of your knowledge. Please include any additional assumptions or recommendations.
• Scope of work: Production of TITAN systems, perform software updates, and provide initial support of systems
