Informed by the Request For Information from Headquarters Supreme Allied Command Transformation (RFI-ACT-SACT-24-76) and DIANA Sensing and Surveillance Challenge 2024, AIRCOM invites vendors to demonstrate capabilities at the Industry Day to meet the following requirements:
* A near-real-time publicly available information (PAI) alerting tool to support I&W that:
o Leverages the vast amount of PAI sources available and automatically push relevant PAI based on users-defined criteria in near real time;
o Provides unfiltered Global Social Media (SM) Access;
o Permits Selectable Search Filters;
o Provides Geolocation and Automated Translation;
o Provides an Automated Alert Function;
o Provides an initial source evaluation to aid the triage of large volumes of data;
o Uses web access to deliver the service;
o Enables remote use.
* AI-enabled Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) capabilities, that:
o Operate across the TCPED process;
o Support source and content evaluation in accordance with NATO OSINT Doctrine and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs);
o Enable the NATO Air Intelligence Enterprise to more effectively incorporate OSINT in support of I&W, intelligence collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination in support of decision support, the wider Intelligence Cycle, JISR Process, Joint Targeting Cycle, and Joint Air tasking Cycle.
* Innovative (hardware, software, algorithms) solutions that:
o Enable Object-Based Production (OBP) and Disposition of Forces (DoF) analysis, ISR, and Targeting, at the scope, scale and tempo required for a Theatre Air Component in an Article V scenario;
o Incorporate Mission Reports (MISREPs) more effectively into the Air Intelligence analysis process, and enable and visualise geographical and temporal analysis of adversary actions and threats against air operations;
o Enhance the capabilities of multi-modal sensing technologies, improving their accuracy, range, and reliability in various dynamic complex operating conditions;
o Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of interconnected interoperable multiple sensor systems, enabling them to monitor large complex areas with greater detail and accuracy;
o Develop advanced algorithms for signal/image processing, big data analysis and interpretation for improving the ability to extract meaningful information from large volumes of distributed sensing and surveillance data;
o Advance the integration of various disparate sensing modalities and surveillance technologies, creating comprehensive systems that can provide a complete and more accurate picture of the operating environment;
o Use autonomy to enable real-time data collection and analysis, optimise the use of multimode sensors, and enhance decision-making capabilities in various dynamic operational environments;
o Support Measures of Performance (MoP) and Measures of Effect (MoE) assessments for both JISR operations (IRM and CM) and full-spectrum targeting;
o Provide cross-domain solutions to enable the passing of data, information and intelligence across different classification and releasability enclaves, to enable intelligence personnel to operate across the security levels concurrently with minimal manual effort.
