Description
The NATO Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT) is seeking information on next-generation deployable communications and information systems (NG DCIS) scalable capability. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to involve nations, industry, and academia in an examination of future capabilities related to NG DCIS, with a focus on related technologies and commercial products. The RFI aims to identify potential benefits and risks associated with different approaches to NG DCIS, including the adoption of existing solutions, the purchase of new solutions, or the development of bespoke solutions. The RFI also seeks information on the scalability, deployability, and security of NG DCIS solutions.
Some key features of the NG DCIS scalable capability include:
• Deployable headquarters that can seamlessly scale from 11-500 users
• Road, air, rail, and maritime transportability
• Fast set-up and tear-down times
• Small footprint when fully deployed
• Ability to fully deploy with the least amount of vehicles and personnel
• Ability to scale from small to large and from large to small with a short amount of time
• Seamless interconnection to other scalable and legacy systems
• Access to multiple network domains
• Digital security in compliance with NATO digital security standards
• Accreditation for use within the NATO enterprise and unclassified domains
