The OTTI Vision is to establish an integrated system-of-systems architecture – inclusive of live, virtual, and constructive environments — that enables Guardians to test, train, and develop tactics in an operationally-relevant employment scheme to achieve and sustain full-spectrum readiness.
In addition, other OTTI objectives are to execute HEAT3 to generate and field combat-ready forces; enable operational concept development, refinement, and validation; and serve as a risk reduction capability to solve operational challenges.
Virtual Environment: The Government requires a virtual environment that can provide a service-oriented architecture to support initial training through advanced training, tactics development, and wargaming. This virtual environment will provide the USSF’s Space Test and Readiness Command (STARCOM) an agile environment to prepare USSF Guardians to conduct operations in a contested environment. The environment must integrate with new and existing capabilities and digital models, with a near-term emphasis on red and blue models, to allow Guardians to conduct training. The environment will need to affordably scale data storage and processing to meet real time demands. Considerations that are important to fielding this environment include, but are not limited to: scalability, computing power, multiple tiered security, open system architectures, data management, user interface and experience, simulator control and monitoring network infrastructure, training scenario validation and verification, feedback mechanisms, compliance and regulations, lifecycle management, collaboration tools, and cost considerations. The government will provide additional information in a future sam.gov posting regarding OTTI requirements and architectures to support formulation of responses to this RFI.
Virtual Environment Integration: The Government requires industry expertise in defining the systems architecture, decomposing the strategic level requirements, defining environment interfaces, and other activities associated with integrating new and existing capabilities/tools and digital models into the virtual environment. The party responsible for the integration will need to have a strong track record of systems definition and systems delivery. The success of OTTI is inherently linked to both the virtual environment the integration of new and legacy tools in the environment, therefore, this RFI seeks to collect information on the ability of industry partners to both develop and integrate the elements of a virtual environment.
