Only four proposals were submitted in an online bid for the contract, which is set to expire on May 7, 2018, while funding and work location "will be determined with each order."

The Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate is the US military’s center for developing advanced cyber operations, electronic warfare, radar and signals intelligence technologies, according to the US Army website.

The directorate falls under the Army’s Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), which focuses on developing capabilities that enable situational awareness, secure communications and protects US soldiers from surprise attack.
