USARPAC / INDOPACOM C&IN Network Engineering Support:

Under an ACC-APG RS3 IDIQ task order (5-year term) which was solicited as RS3-17-0019, BANC3 has been selected to provide specialized communications and information network (C&IN) engineering support to USARPAC G6 in direct support of Theater Army and Joint Force mission command across the Indo-Pacific. Our support focuses on the engineering, integration, and operation of resilient enterprise and tactical networks, including SATCOM, terrestrial transport layers, and deployed mission command systems. BANC3 supports the design and integration of headquarters and forward-deployed network architectures, ensuring secure data transport, interoperability, and mission continuity across geographically dispersed forces operating in joint and coalition environments.

BANC3 personnel deliver on-site technical support at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, and provide reach-back and forward support to USARPAC-assigned units operating in Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and Alaska. Support activities include mission command network architecture analysis, communications systems integration, and technical planning to ensure resilient, secure, and interoperable command-and-control capabilities across geographically distributed forces.

In addition, BANC3 provides hands-on technical support for network transport optimization, SATCOM and gateway integration, tactical-to-enterprise interoperability, and operational validation of mission command systems. This includes network configuration, bandwidth management, cybersecurity and information assurance compliance, and technical troubleshooting across joint, coalition, and multinational architectures to ensure reliable mission command operations in contested and geographically complex operating environments throughout the INDOPACOM area of responsibility.

Seaport NexGen IDIQ: 

BANC3 has been selected as a Prime contractor for the Seaport Next Generation (Seaport-NXG) IDIQ which is tasked with providing qualified personnel, materials, facilities, equipment, test instrumentation, data collection and analysis, hardware and software, and other services to support the Department of the Navy (DON) in the execution of its overall organizational functions and the specific missions of the individual activities and ordering offices. The scope includes services that have the potential to span the entire spectrum of mission areas and technical capabilities support by the DON ordering activities. Seaport-NXG covers services in two broad categories – Engineering Services and Program Management Services. 

Pre-Shot Threat Detection (PTD) — Optical Threat Cueing for Close-Quarters Operations:

BANC3 developed a lightweight Pre-Shot Threat Detection (PTD) concept to provide rapid optical threat cueing in dense urban and close-quarters environments where reaction time is critical. The PTD system integrates a rifle-mounted laser with the legacy Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (ACOG) to detect and provide immediate visible warning cues from hostile optical threats, including weapon optics associated with rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) engagements. Designed for rapid operator cueing and intuitive engagement workflows, the PTD concept enables timely defensive response to emerging threats, enhancing individual warfighter survivability and reducing the risk of injury or loss during close-combat operations.

Digital Radio Frequency (RF) Receiver System Design:

To meet the challenging requirements of monitoring today's congested radio frequency spectrum, BANC3 is designing a comprehensive RF receiver system architecture to intercept and accurately process the RF spectrum from 50 MHz to 18 GHz. This innovative design will leverage digital receivers that employ a hybrid design including both pipelined FFT (DFFT) and instantaneous frequency measurement (DIFM) techniques allowing both real time spectrum analysis to be performed and pulse descriptor word (PDW) data to be generated. Our solution will provide 100% probability of intercept while mitigating the effects of simultaneous signals. This cost-effective approach eliminates the more traditional custom microwave receivers with more robust digital components ensuring high reliability, limited maintenance, and long-term supportability.  

Tactical Mission Command Applications (TMCA) — Software Architecture & UI/UX Engineering Support: 

BANC3 provides advanced software architecture and engineering support for Tactical Mission Command Applications (TMCA) in support of PEO C3T Mission Command programs. Our work focuses on the design, development, integration, and sustainment of mission command software, with emphasis on modular architectures, data services, and interface frameworks that enable reliable operation across tactical and command post environments. 

BANC3 engineers design and implement service-oriented and API-based interfaces that support data exchange and interoperability within the Command Post Computing Environment (CP CE) and Mounted Computing Environment (MCE), aligned with ASA(ALT) Common Operating Environment (COE) and Mission Command standards. This includes middleware integration, message and data model alignment, and integration with DoD and coalition mission command systems to ensure consistent data flow, situational awareness, and command-and-control functionality across platforms.

As the prime contractor for TMCA UI/UX support, BANC3 applies human-centered design principles to mission command software while tightly coupling UI/UX design with underlying software services and workflows. Our support includes software test and integration, fielded sustainment, and the development of scalable training solutions—ranging from classroom instruction and interactive multimedia instruction (IMI) to short-form digital content and augmented reality (AR)-enabled training—to improve usability, reduce cognitive burden, and enhance operational readiness without increasing lifecycle costs.

General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule 70 (IT Services):

BANC3 has been selected as a supplier GSA Schedule 70 (IT Services) provider.  The General Services Administration (GSA) IT Schedule 70 includes a comprehensive array of state-of-the-art IT products, services, and solution. IT Schedule 70 is one of the large procurement vehicles and most widely used acquisition offering in the federal government to deliver a full range of IT solutions including hardware, software, maintenance, network services, cybersecurity, professional IT services, and more.

Live-Fire AR Training — AI-Enabled Marksmanship & Range Modernization:

BANC3 delivered an AI-enabled augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) live-fire training capability to support Army marksmanship and range modernization objectives under PEO STRI. The system enhances training realism and effectiveness by fusing computer-vision–based tracking, AI-assisted registration, and high-fidelity AR overlays to present dynamic, context-aware targets and feedback during live-fire exercises, while operating within existing range safety and training doctrine.

BANC3 developed an optical see-through head-mounted display (HMD) architecture with integrated sensing, visual-inertial tracking, and occlusion modeling to enable precise target placement, stable registration, and realistic interaction with live-fire environments. AI-driven algorithms support target stability, lighting and perspective alignment, and repeatable scenario execution across varying range conditions. The solution is designed to integrate with soldier training workflows and live-fire range constraints, providing scalable, repeatable training scenarios that improve marksmanship proficiency while preserving safety and doctrinal compliance. Follow-on efforts expanded system capability and technical maturity, validating the approach for broader training application.
