Description

Headquarters, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for industry input to Versatile Innovation through Science and Technology Applications (VISTA) Framework Events.� The purpose of this RFI is to involve industry and academia, through collaboration, in an examination of future capabilities related to the Enablement Support Solution with a focus on technologies and commercial products. The VISTA Framework is a mechanism that allows VISTA Stakeholders (NATO Enterprise, Nations, Academia, and Industry) a mechanism �to 1) foster synergies and optimize objectives through Science and Technology (S&T) product users� feedback, 2) showcase S&T activities in support of Warfare Development across NATO and 3) identify S&T needs and ways to respond to them. VISTA Framework is offering all stakeholders two annual events; VISTA PowerUp and VISTA Spark. At VISTA PowerUp, ACT is presenting selected S&T for Warfare Development projects and is seeking input/advice from industry and academia to reinforce and expedite project development via knowledge and technology transfers. At VISTA Spark, ACT is presenting early project results, but also is seeking input to trigger new ideas and identify new opportunities for projects to be commissioned in the following year(s). With this RFI, ACT is requesting industry and academia contributions to both 2021 VISTA PowerUp and 2021 VISTA Spark events. Particapation in VISTA PowerUp is not prerequisite for participation in the VISTA Spark, although it is recommended. VISTA PowerUp will be hosted on a virtual GoToMeeting platform during 27-29 April 2021. VISTA Spark is expected to be conducted during September/October timeframe. HQ SACT has not made a commitment to procure any of the items described herein, and release of this RFI shall not be construed as such a commitment, nor as authorization to incur costs for which reimbursement will be required or sought. It is emphasised that this is an RFI and not a Request for Proposal of any kind. Detailed instructions for responding to the RFI are included with the RFI (attached).
