99 -- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR TELEMETRY ENCRYPTION MODERNIZATION

The Cryptologic Systems Group (CPSG) COMSEC Products Directorate at Lackland AFB, TX has embarked on a Telemetry Encryption Modernization program for the Major Range and Test Facility Bases (MRTFBs) throughout the DoD. In support of the Telemetry Encryption Modernization Development Program Office CPSG is presently working with NSA in investigating this need for a possible way ahead and seeking information on any solutions industry may have as it pertains to telemetry encryption devices for ranges. The goal of this Telemetry Encryption Modernization (TEM) RFI is to explore recent strides that industry has made in trusted processing and miniaturization technologies to provide embeddable solutions. With this programmable technology comes the opportunity to tailor the embeddable functions/capabilities to the desired Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for the weapon/aircraft and to tailor the security infrastructure to meet operational requirements. This RFI is not a formal solicitation and is not a request for proposals. Any formal solicitation will be announced separately. This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. Please send responses and/or questions via email no later than COB 2 October 2006 directly to: Mr. Ronald Konicek, Contracting Officer, contact@example.gov. Please annotate the subject line of email responses as: TEM RFI Response. For complete information see RFI Word document(s) under documents available for downloading.
