## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) is seeking support for a project titled "Support to AIntP3 NATO Ratification". This procurement falls under the research and development services category and is located in Salisbury, England. The tender has recently completed, with the contract awarded on 13th January 2022, and is valued at £44,133.52 GBP. The contract period is set from 14th January 2022 to 15th March 2022. The procurement process followed a selective method, involving a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specializing in research and development, particularly those with experience in military intelligence and data exchange standards. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be especially well-placed to compete, given the contract's specifications and the support needed for the NATO ratification processes. Businesses that can demonstrate capabilities in interoperability and data systems would stand a good chance of benefiting from participation in this procurement.

## Notice

Over the last year Dstl, and our industry partners, have supported Joint User Intelligence Policy Branch in their work to revise STANAG 2433, more commonly known as AIntP-3, The Military Intelligence Data Exchange Concept. Dstl's work to date has supported the UK custodian in a refresh and update of this standard. As a notable uplift, this revision has included an approach enabling machine-to-machine digital exchange of records following the logical approach within that standard. This work has been completed and the custodian has submitted it formally to the NATO group that owns this standard, following which a number of comments have been received. In addition to documenting the new approach, proof of concept testing work has also taken place. This testing involved exchange between a reference AIntP-3 system developed under this work and a version of NEBULA from the ODYSSEY programme. During the test, a simple scenario using examples of AIntP-3 formatted data was imported into NEBULA and the data was presented to a user. The data was then modified and exported back to the originator. The work is: - To enhance the existing AIntP-3 to NEBULA test system to offer a component to NEBULA providing AIntP-3 interoperability. - Ongoing support to aid JU in their efforts to get JINTWG approval for the revised standards, as well as supporting subsequent efforts to push the standard through NATO ratification processes.
