STRIDE Award
BCubed Engineering Awarded STRIDE 5 Year Production OTA by USSOCOM
BCubed Engineering Corporation is honored to announce that it has been awarded a 5-year, $98.5M Production Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreement for the United States Special Operations Command’s (USSOCOM) Strategic to Tactical Resource Integration and Data Exchange (STRIDE) effort. This agreement positions BCubed Engineering as the 3rd party integrator supporting Special Operations Forces Mission Command to implement agile development methodologies for delivery of enhanced situational awareness and command and control (C2) capabilities across strategic, operational, and tactical levels of special operations. These capabilities leverage BCubed Engineering’s tactical and strategic communication solutions for denied, disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth environments.
This OTA agreement expands on multiple successful key prototype efforts conducted by the Navy and USSOCOM. Key applications of technology included containerized microservice architectures that were scaled and deployed to multiple environments to support theater and tactical C2 objectives. Through these efforts, BCubed Engineering developed and demonstrated a prototype strategic level cloud and hardware-based edge architecture that enabled bi-directional data sharing between theater and tactical levels where edge sensors and field sets provided users with actionable results. BCubed Engineering demonstrated the ability to perform signal processing directives within an open software environment, which drastically increased the capacity for supporting simultaneous on-demand communication devices. This system-of-systems architecture became the basis for STRIDE, coupled with the overall management of the Scaled Agile Framework process that organized the software development strategy between the Government and multiple external partners to continuously deliver secure integrated capabilities to their operators.
BCubed Engineering is dedicated to providing advanced and reliable technologies that enhance operational effectiveness and ensure mission success for its customers. BCubed Engineering is a leader in developing advanced wireless communication architectures that facilitate data exchanges beyond the tactical edge with a portfolio of capabilities that includes edge devices, waveforms, digital ground stations, and comprehensive software solutions. By employing Modular Open Systems Approaches and integrating commercial technologies, BCubed Engineering ensures that its solutions are both innovative and can rapidly adapt to provide unparalleled support to the Government and its operators.
