NATO Request for Information: Advanced Target Development for Next Generation NATO Joint Targeting Capability

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) survey designed to gather information from industry and NATO nations regarding their capabilities for Advanced Target Development (ATD) in support of NATO's Future Joint Targeting System (ARTEMIS). It aims to inform NATO of potential alternative solutions and assess technology readiness.

• Capability Overview Survey (Tab 1): Asks for details about the vendor's ATD system, including its name, description, operational history, legal/commercial considerations, and cost estimation methodology. It specifically requests non-binding Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price estimates for a four-year horizon, including hardware, software, licensing, and Operation & Maintenance costs.
• Requirements Assessment (Tab 2): Requires vendors to self-assess how their ATD capability meets specific requirements related to precision point mensuration, target shaping, weapon solution methods, interoperability, collateral damage estimation, battle damage assessment, and information exchange within the NATO Command Structure.
• Glossary (Tab 3): Provides definitions for terms used throughout the RFI document.

This RFI is crucial for vendors offering ATD solutions. It outlines NATO's interest in existing capabilities and provides a structured way to present their offerings. Responding allows vendors to:

• Inform NATO of their capabilities for potential future procurement.
• Understand NATO's requirements and vision for ARTEMIS.
• Potentially influence the development of future NATO targeting systems.
• Provide cost estimates that will aid NATO's planning.

Request for Information (RFI)

This RFI is issued by Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT) to gather input from industry, academia, and nations regarding NATO's requirement for Advanced Target Development (ATD) capabilities. The goal is to identify methodologies, systems, products, or services that can contribute to the execution of the joint targeting cycle, specifically for the ARTEMIS (Advanced, Rapid, Targeting and Effects Mission Information System) program. This RFI does not commit the government to a future procurement.

The ATD solution should support the physical dimension of effects against a target, including:

• Target Coordinate Measurement (TCM) methodology.
• Imagery analysis and creation of desired points of impact (DPI).
• Standardized basic weaponeering solutions.
• Interoperability for sharing weapon information.
• Collateral Damage Estimation (CDE).
• Support for target development and management.
• Ability to share ATD product information.
• Post-strike Battle Damage Assessment estimation.

This is an RFI, not a commitment to procure. Information gathered may be used for future Statement of Work requirements or developmental contracts.

• Questions Due: March 6, 2026, 9:00 am EST

• Responses Due: March 27, 2026, 9:00 am EST

• Responses must be submitted via email to all listed Contracting and Technical Points of Contact.

• Responses must not contain proprietary or classified information (NATO UNCLASSIFIED or below).

• Submissions should follow a specific naming convention and include a technical description and architecture diagram.

• A response template (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) is provided.
