Solutions are sought at different levels of development, from the “advanced concept development stage” through “customizable applications” available commercial off-the-shelf.

Solutions may address some of the challenges associated with one or more of the following areas of interest: • Dynamic Network Topologies • Cybersecurity and Attack Resilience • Internet of Things (IoT) Scalability • Simulation and Visualization • Network Optimization with Preferred Attachment The RFIP is attached. Deadline for submission: 05 November 2024 23:00 UTC This is a RFIP ONLY. In no way does the RFIP constitute a current Request for Proposal (RFP) or a commitment to issue a future RFP.
