Description
This NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) pre‑competitive market engagement seeks industry input on two inter‑related initiatives: (1) the design of a modular, open‑architecture systems‑integration framework for the upcoming eAirC2 capability, and (2) the conceptualisation of an eAirC2 Applications Marketplace to procure and sustain air‑command‑and‑control software applications. Respondents will answer narrative questions, comment on a draft problem statement, and may attend an optional workshop in Izmir, Turkey, to discuss requirements and provide feedback. The RFI is informational only and will not result in an award; the information gathered will shape a future solicitation.
• Provide market perspective on integration of multi‑vendor C2 components, risk allocation, commercial models, IP and performance incentives.
• Define suitable application types for a NATO‑run marketplace, supplier qualification criteria, and acquisition/contracting approaches.
• Offer insights on technical feasibility, deployment, sustainment, and continuous evolution of a data‑centric, cloud‑enabled air‑C2 ecosystem.
