1. Introduction
(U) The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) is seeking potential solutions from qualified companies to provide a comprehensive market scan system. The purpose of this system would be to identify and assess investment trends in various technological areas relevant to Army Science and Technology (S&T). To ensure that DEVCOM investments are aligned with market trends and emerging technologies, we require a reliable, verifiable, and repeatable method to assess market investments across multiple technological areas, including but not limited to command and control systems, counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and autonomous systems. The market scan system should be able to assess information from industry, academia, international partners, and other U.S. government agencies. Market scans from the system can include but are not limited to an analysis of total dollar investment, instances of commercial application that could transfer to the Army and relevant patents and publications.
