The TWCs require a Common Analytic and Support System (CASS) to provide comprehensive and consistent forecast and alerting guidance in support of joint TWC Operations.

At this session, the Government will provide an overview of the CASS requirement and address pre-submitted questions and comments regarding the technical requirement and acquisition strategies. There will also be time allotted for a live Q&A session. The session will only be open to vendors who pre-register for the event.
