WildCAD-E (WildCAD Enterprise) Development Update
The WildCAD-E (WildCAD Enterprise) project is well underway with a planned release in the first quarter of 2023. Key highlights include a web-based application, mobile access, integration of operational and law enforcement data, intuitive user interface, updated mapping interface, and hosted in a secure cloud environment. Support teams are being established, and the development team led by Bighorn Information Systems and SAIC is actively working on the implementation of WildCAD-E.

WildCAD-E (WildCAD Enterprise)
Contract Award Contract Award The CAD follow on contract was awarded on December 22, 2020 to Bighorn Information Systems. The period of performance began on December 31, 2020 and is structured for base year plus seven option years. The kickoff meeting with the vendor was held January 7, 2021. The current WildCAD6 solution will remain in place while requirements that were defined in the solicitation are developed and implemented in the new state-of-the-art WildCAD-E (WildCAD - Enterprise). The target for the release of WildCAD-E is the first quarter of 2023.
WildCAD WildCAD- -E Highlights E Highlights Web based application Mobile access All Hazard operational data integration Law Enforcement data integration Intuitive user interface Updated mapping interface Help desk support Hosted in a FedRAMP compliant cloud environment with an Authority to Operate (ATO) Authentication will be through IWFIRP (Interagency Wildland Fire Incident Response Portal) - the same portal used for other systems such as IROC The user interface will not be like most web applications. Instead, just like WildCAD6, users will be able to have multiple, resizable windows , save their own custom screen layout , click and drag, etc. Our intent is to maintain all functionality presently in WildCAD6, plus additional capabilities such as improved mapping and a true mobile app.
WildCAD-E Support Teams In coordination and collaboration with the developer, WildCAD-E support teams are being established. The support teams will consist of the development team, a core project team and the National Interagency Computer Aided Dispatch Subcommittee(NICADS), an interagency mix of users and subject matter experts (SME s).
The Development Team Responsible for design, development and implementation of WildCAD-E. Bighorn Information System is the primary contractor on this effort. Bighorn has teamed up with SAIC as a subcontractor. SAIC brings many years of experience developing systems for the wildland fire community and a depth of technical expertise that fortifies Bighorn s years of development and support of WildCAD. This team is led by Brian Booher, Bighorn Information Systems and Tani Converse, SAIC
The Core Project Team Manage and guide the development and implementation of WildCAD- E. The Team is made up of two (2) project managers and two (2) business leads. The project team is: Jaymee Fojtik (jaymee_fojtik@ios.doi.gov) DOI Project Manager; Angie Hinker (angie.hinker@usda.gov) USFS Project Manager; Chuck Wamack (david_wamack@ios.doi.gov) DOI Business Lead; Julie Polutnik (julie.polutnik@usda.gov) USFS Business Lead.
The National Interagency Computer Aided Dispatch Subcommittee (NICADS) NICADS is chartered to Monitor CAD change requests, prioritize, and recommend program enhancements through proper channels. The members of this subcommittee represent the wildland fire dispatch community, they are users of the application and subject matter experts (SMEs) in the dispatching field. The subcommittee is supported by the business leads. Additionally, subcommittee members represent their respective geographic areas and are the point of contact for those users. The NICADS is developing processes and procedures to support development and implementation of WildCAD-E.

WildCAD6 Continued Support from Bighorn: maintenance and minor enhancements WildCAD6 will continue to be enhanced to support data integration* Time and money spent on WildCAD6 upgrades will come from the same funding as WildCAD-E CAL s & Cloud (Much faster) improvements in reports etc Update in late April, primarily to support resource integration, but also making a few requested enhancements/changes. Still needs BLM NOC testing/approval.
