The Area of Interest (AOI) description:

C2IMERA Program Overview: C2IMERA (Command and Control Incident Management Emergency Response Application) is a government-owned command and control platform used at the Wing and Base level to manage readiness, operations, and emergency response activities. It serves as the authoritative system where operators enter, validate, and assess real-world readiness and Friendly Order of Battle (FrOB) data, providing commanders with a live common operating picture of installation resources and operational status.

Modern peer conflict will not occur in a pristine, high-bandwidth environment. Commanders require a continuous flow of information from the tactical edge to make informed decisions, but operators at that edge often lack the tools to effectively collect and transmit this data, especially when primary networks are degraded or denied. There is a requirement to:

• Report standardized base conditions and battle damage from anywhere on an installation.


• Maintain local C2 and situational awareness even when disconnected from the enterprise.


• Feed a common operational picture that is consumable by all users.

TAK technology was led by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). AFRL vendors and partners are specialized firms responsible for developing, maintaining, and integrating this suite.

This technology would be leveraging potentially pre-existing TAK plugins that are either open source or commercially available. Each need revolves around a single technical objective: integrating TAK with C2IMERA. Only specific C2IMERA endpoints are currently writable and available for integration under this effort, and proposed solutions must operate within this constraint. Applicants must have prior experience developing TAK plugins and be able to briefly describe this experience in their submission. The deliverables are all variations of the same architecture pattern, just applied to different use cases like Blue Force Tracking, Incident Reporting, Sensor/Video, etc.
