WASHINGTON. The U.S. Army Mission Command has selected Systematic's SitaWare Headquarters command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) system that is designed to direct digital information for the warfighter across handheld, mounted, and command-post systems. The firm fixed price/time-and-material agreement -- with a one-year base and four one-year options -- is valued at approximately $39 million.
Lt. Col. Shane Taylor, product manager for the Army’s Tactical Mission Command, part of the Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical, said in a statement: "[SitaWare Headquarters] meets two of our needs in that it will provide soldiers within a command post with simplified, improved command and control as well as better interoperability with coalition forces. Additionally, it provides the basis for the Army’s initial, common framework that we will use to converge warfighting functions.”
According to Army officials, the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) SitaWare product is expected to be fielded to its first unit in fiscal year 2019.
