Description
Description — Life Cycle Software Support (LCSS)
The CECOM Software Engineering Center (SEC) provides depot maintenance for weapon system specific Post Production Software Support (PPSS) supporting Intelligence, Force Protection, Electronic Warfare, Aviation, Mission Command, Tactical Radio, Tactical Network, Transport, Counter Fire Radar, and Satellite Communications programs. It supports readiness of Army network systems, mission command capabilities and intelligence and sensor systems. Policy for PPSS requires that system managers provide initial host capabilities for new systems and that the Life Cycle Management Centers (LCMCs) provide upgrades and replacement of obsolete equipment. Significant portions of host and network equipment are no longer economically repairable and/or are reaching obsolescence. There is a requirement to respond to emergency requests from the field for Software Engineering support, in order to maintain operational readiness of deployed weapon systems. With host computers and peripherals having a life span of approximately five years and SEC performing its mission over a continuous period of time beyond five years, equipment and labs must be replaced and/or upgraded regularly to deal with obsolescence and take advantage of the continual improvements in technology that are indigenous to high-technology based weapon systems and their software support environments. SEC must purchase these items to meet systems' mission requirements. SEC must also develop Continuity of Operations (COOP) sites in order to reduce risk of a catastrophic failure at the primary location. These sites will restore data and the software development environment, allowing SEC to maintain critical software updates, accreditation, and IV&V. Major equipment purchases include servers and server storage. CECOM SEC also is also continuing development on its Software Engineering Environment (SE2), which will support Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) and Army software modernization for weapon.
Justification
Justification — Life Cycle Software Support (LCSS)
FY 2026 Base procurement dollars in the amount of $5.175M supports maintaining software capabilities in labs such as: 1. ISD OPA Lab Purchases: Lab requirements to maintain UCRN/SCRN for all of ISD includes the purchase 5 Dell R650s to replace degraded XR2x that are currently in use. Also includes the purchase of a customized storage to prevent future critical hard drive failures. 2. ICS OPA - APR39EV2 B-Kit - APR-39EV2 B-Kit [ (1) - Processor, (4) - Receivers, (5) - Antennas, (1) - Control Unit, (1) - Display Unit, and (1) - Interconnection Wiring Harness. Support the ARAT PPSS mission by developing Mission Software (MS) to Force Protection Systems (FPS). This addition will enable the existing ARAT developers the ability to produce more MS necessary to meet added sustainment requirements. 3. Test Infrastructure - Simulators - Software Defined Radios (SDRs): Software Defined Radios (SDR) will add increased capability and support to the ARAT PPSS mission by simulating threats and background emissions of the environment in which Force Protection Systems (FPS) operate. This added capability will enable the existing ARAT simulators the ability to produce a signal environment necessary to meet added sustainment requirements. 4. IEWS Infrastructure: To comply with Army's directives and implement a continuous iteration / continuous deployment (CI/CD) architecture and simultaneously update our existing infrastructure in support of a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). OPA funds will be used for the purchase and implementation of new network devices including firewalls, routers, intrusion detection systems. These will be used to create a new pipeline allowing IEWSD to deliver software directly to the field. Additionally, we will introduce new devices to support identity and authentication requirements in support of ZTA. 5. On-Premises Large Language Model (LLM) Development Environment: Infrastructure Solution to provide adequate server and data processing power and storage to support the adoption of on-premises Large Language Model (LLM) testing, refinement, and deployment to the SEC workforce. 6. SE2-Classified Phase II: Infrastructure Solution to add additional capability to the SEC SE2 -Classified that will enhance capability and support tactical systems in their CI/CD efforts. 7. SE2 DREN to Admin Phase III: Infrastructure Solution to allow for Software SE2 to be available in SEC work areas outside of the labs reducing the need to operate within limited lab space. Solution will also help transform current conference rooms to multi-function huddle rooms for enhanced onsite collaboration. 8. SE2 Hybrid Cloud Phase IV: Infrastructure Solution to provide additional on-premises/cloud capability to support SE2 in a Hybrid cloud environment. Solution will add additional capability, widen secure access and reduce costs by reducing the need to procure and maintain separate computers for developers.
