Description of the Requirement:

The TACS is a software solution that will be implemented and integrated as part of the ASCC Modernization (ASCCM) project to deliver a digitalized, centered, information-based system.  This will enable the provision of an integrated and cohesive global situational awareness picture, with enhanced airspace coordination and management capabilities, in support of air missions and joint task force operations.

Airspace Coordination is a critical command activity, the information from which the Land Component Commander can make operational decisions related to knowledge of manned aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicle and fire support activities.  Land Force airspace coordination is done through the Airspace Coordination Centre.  An ASCC does not normally work in isolation and as such must also be able to link to Air Force, Navy and allied command and control facilities.

The ASCCM project will provide modernized hardware, software and communication equipment that will enable effective operations in a joint or multinational environment. 

The TACS is a software based solution that is intended to be deployed on ASCC modernized platforms to deliver a set of capabilities that responds to the Army’s needs in airspace monitoring and coordination to support national as well as international missions.


The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
