NATO Request for Information: Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Processing Capabilities

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is seeking input from industry partners to inform the acquisition planning for Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) processing capabilities. The agency is looking for a scalable capability to collect, process, and exploit Open-Source Information (OSINF) to support the OSINT community. The scope of the project includes managed attribution services, OSINT platform, data acquisition and collection services, report writing and source registry, and non-functional requirements such as tailored online training and robust customer service. • The capability should provide access to diverse data sources and analytical technologies while maintaining a focus on security aspects. • The service should include a front-end platform for OSINT analysts on both unclassified and classified networks. • The capability should leverage advanced automated analytical techniques, such as anomaly detection, geolocation, and facial recognition. • The service should provide a report-writing tool and a source registry with automated reliability scoring. • The capability should be scalable and flexible to meet changing operational requirements.
