Description

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is conducting market research for a potential next-generation satellite communications capability. It seeks industry input on secure, resilient, interoperable SATCOM services and systems spanning commercial and military capacity across GEO, MEO, LEO, and HEO orbits; fixed, vehicle, maritime, airborne, and manpack terminals; gateways and virtualized ground segments; and integrated service management, security, and key management. Potential support also includes integration, accreditation, training, maintenance, operational support, and technology refresh. Respondents are invited to describe their capabilities and relevant experience, answer applicable questions in Annex A, and comment on the draft problem statement in Annex B, including technical feasibility, resilience, security, service models, pricing, and acquisition approaches. Written responses are limited to 40 pages, with specified exclusions, and may be submitted in PDF or Word format. This is a planning-only RFI, not a request for bids or a commitment to award a contract. Participation and responses are limited to companies from NATO member countries. A SATCOM workshop is also planned at NATO Edge on November 17–19, 2026.
