Overview

• The 16-month effort tasks Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems to prototype an integrated data layer that unifies information for commanders.
• The prototype will run on the 25th Infantry Division’s existing C2 Fix transport and infrastructure to let the Army assess NGC2 software options.
• The award complements a nearly $100 million Anduril-led OTA announced in July to deliver a full-stack prototype to the 4th Infantry Division.
• Officials say both division efforts will yield lessons on applying NGC2 across heavy and light formations and will inform future fielding decisions.
• The NGC2 CSO remains open for team-lead or component proposals, with more than 80 vendors responding to the latest call to support continuous competition.
