Description

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified vendors and gather input on potential solutions to support the upcoming acquisition of Imagery Exploitation and Visualization Tools (IMINT).

NATO’s Joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Centre (JISRC), in coordination with NCIA, is seeking to enhance and expand its IMINT capabilities. The IMINT project aims to acquire modern, commercially available software solutions that support end-to-end Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (TCPED) of imagery and associated intelligence across a federated enterprise.

This RFI is issued for planning purposes only and is not a request for solicitation. It is part of NCIA’s effort to confirm available capabilities from industry.
