What is being bought

Published requirement description

This is currently a Request for Information (RFI), not a tendering oppotunity.

STRIKE NET is a programme aiming to provide the architecture and technology that will enable the movement and exploitation of data between distributed sensors, deciders and effectors hosted by a mix of crewed, un-crewed and autonomous assets to allow decision support, battlespace management, information exploitation and targeting of effects in a contested battlespace.

To deliver effect an effective way of managing real time data transfer and exploitation between peers is required. The Common Services Platform (CSP) which is the subject of this RFI should include data prioritisation that is compatible with dynamic routing solutions and be functional where data is encrypted.

Suppliers and market experts are invited to complete this RFI, to provide insight and experience in the subject matter. Further detail can be found within the attached document which can be found on the Defence Sourcing Portal.

*Update 15/4/25* The RFI deadline has been extended to 02/05/2025
