CENTCOM seeks technology to solve persistence gaps

U.S. Central Command is seeking technology descriptions from industry, academia and others ahead of its summit on Long Endurance Alternate Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, or LE-A2ISR, in October.

The request for information posted online this week calls for technologies that can be displayed at the Oct. 5-6 summit at MacDill Air Force Base, FL, that will focus on solutions to solve persistence gaps across the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The solutions should be based in platforms; payloads; electro-optical/infra-red; processing, exploitation and dissemination; and signal intelligence.

The event supports efforts enacted in the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act by identifying and accelerating capabilities relating to LE-A2ISR, according to the request.

Applications to create a display for the summit are due by Sept. 16, and attendees will need secret-level security clearance.
