IWRP Virtual Industry Day February 2026

Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) and Naval Information Warfare Centers (NIWC) Atlantic and Pacific announce the Information Warfare Research Project (IWRP) Consortium Virtual Industry Day hosted by Advanced Technology International (ATI), the IWRP consortium management firm, on 18 February 2026, at 1300 Eastern Time. It is anticipated that the topics may be the basis of upcoming Requests for Prototype Projects (RPPs) to IWRP consortium members. This is not an RPP and is intended for planning purposes only. A project will not be awarded from this announcement. The Government anticipates announcing a RPP and a Pre-Solicitation Collaboration (PSC). They will include a short brief and one-on-one breakout sessions. The RPP being presented is titled the Naval Tactical Command Support System (NTCSS) Architecture Refactor (26-LANT-3214). The PSC is titled Leveraging Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN) Waveform Development Kit (26-PAC-3234). The Government is seeking a prototype of containerized software implementations of layer 1 and layer 2 for HF waveforms, leveraging the Battle Force Tactical Network (BFTN) software framework. In order to obtain more information regarding the projects, you must be a member of the IWRP consortium. For more information on becoming an IWRP consortium member, please visit www.theiwrp.org. The purpose of this announcement is to provide members of the IWRP consortium, and industry in general, advanced notification of government intent.
