NATO Business Opportunity: SHAPE Radio Overhaul

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is seeking a contractor to provide a modern, secure, interoperable, and future-proof mission-critical voice communication system based on the Astrid TETRA network. The system will replace the existing VHF radio system and provide seamless communication with the Belgian national emergency services network and the U.S. P25 system used at Chievres Airbase. The objectives of the project include replacing the existing VHF radio system, providing full outdoor coverage, ensuring seamless interoperability, and enabling long-term system operability. • The system must be designed to support future evolution and migration toward Mission Critical Services (MCX) over a private 4G/5G network. • The contractor must provide lifecycle upgrades, maintenance, and support for a controlled future migration. • The system must ensure centralized crypto management, including secure remote programming and rekeying. • The contractor must facilitate operational continuity during the construction and commissioning of the new SHAPE headquarters buildings.
