RFI: Targetry Range Automated Control and Recording II (TRACR II) Software

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGARDING RANGE CONNECTIVITY PURPOSE: Product Manager Tactical Training System (PdM TTS) is requesting information from interested offerors regarding a technical challenge regarding data transfer between two networks. BACKGROUND: PdM TTS is responsible for supporting ranges that utilize the Targetry Range Automated Control and Recording II (TRACR II) software. This software is responsible for operating range targetry and collecting scoring data. The current Authority To Operate (ATO) that exists on these ranges prohibits external connections and the system operates fully independent of any external communications to any network. Successful transfer of this data from the existing closed network to a separate, cloud-based database requires operators to manually record data into logbooks and then re-enter it on a separate computer network. Note: data is unclassified. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (Technical): PDM TTS is requesting information on the most efficient way for this data to be successfully transferred between these two networks. Data transfer can be either uni-directional or bi-directional between the networks. Points to consider when creating a solution should include what type of data would be sent, what modifications would be required to the existing hardware and software configuration, how this solution would be implemented, utilized, and documented, and what impacts this solution would have on the existing ATO.
