- The award covers prototypes, open-systems integration, operator training and life cycle support
- RDEP-P 2.0 is built around the Rampart 10 chassis GDMS developed for the CMFF program
- The contract has a 12-month base period plus production, fielding and sustainment options
The Army has selected General Dynamics Mission Systems to provide Radio Delivery Effects Platform-Portable, or RDEP-P, 2.0, a ruggedized, modular system designed to host cyber and electronic warfare capabilities for soldiers at the tactical edge. GDMS announced the September contract on Monday but did not disclose its value.
The award stems from the RDEP-P solicitation issued by the service in March. It sought a cyber electromagnetic activities, or CEMA, system able to combine processing, storage, networking, software-defined radio and positioning cards in mission-specific configurations.
What Does the RDEP-P 2.0 Contract Cover?
Under the agreement, GDMS will deliver prototypes, train Army operators, handle open-systems integration and support the system across its life cycle. The contract runs for a 12-month base period. Its options cover further production, fielding and sustainment.
How Will the System Support Army Cyber and EW Missions?
The platform takes advantage of the Rampart 10 chassis, which GDMS originally made for the C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards Mounted Form Factor, or CMFF, program. According to GDMS, RDEP-P 2.0 will be the integration host for future cyber electromagnetic activities tools and for software-centric, modular mission payloads.
“Cyber and electronic warfare missions demand technology that can evolve as quickly as the threat,” said Rachel Oberc, GDMS vice president. She added that pairing Rampart’s open architecture with software-based payloads gives the service a flexible base for fielding new capabilities quickly.
What Other Army-Focused Work Has GDMS Pursued?
The RDEP-P 2.0 award adds to GDMS’ Army portfolio. In July 2025, the Army Communications-Electronics Command gave the company a $49.9 million sole-source contract to sustain the Tactical Network Transport On-The-Move system, which gives mobile soldiers voice, video and data connectivity. That same month, the Army Communications-Electronics Command awarded GDMS a $49.9 million sole-source contract to sustain the Tactical Network Transport On-The-Move system.
In October 2025, GDMS partnered with Locus Lock to bring software-defined position, navigation and timing technology to Army platforms. The business unit is also part of a battlefield software partnership that sister company General Dynamics Land Systems launched in 2025.
