1. INTRODUCTION

The JISR Centre’s (JISRC) Vision is to assure information superiority for NATO. Our Mission is to deliver, support and protect valued Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, expertise and services, to maximize operational effectiveness for NATO.

Ensuring coordination and cohesion of the multiple JISR programmes and projects from a technical perspective, the JISRC requires Solution Architect services to capture and document the as-is and to-be JISR architecture.

The services include the capturing of the current JISR architecture through the delivery of a documented understanding of all current programmes/projects/services, the capturing of the to-be architecture as well as the implementation roadmap in order to assure future programmatic technical coherence. With a focus on documenting the architecture and engagement with all JISRC key stakeholders, the services will ensure the delivery of high-quality technical products that align and will inform current and future JISR programmes.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

The purpose of this project is to provide the JISR “as-is” and “to-be” architecture and implementation roadmap. To achieve this scope, the Contractor shall:

• Engage with JISRC staff (Technical Subject Matter Experts, Service Delivery Managers, Project Managers) to understand and document current and future system/service capabilities; and with Chief Technology Office (CTO) staff, especially the JISR Segment Architect and JISR Segment Service Engineer.
• Document JISR workflows and processes at technical level;
• Develop high level overview of technical solutions in place;
• Deliver JISR as-is architecture, capturing all current JISR services, applications and system capabilities; their inter-dependencies and the technologies by which they are implemented
• Deliver JISR to-be architecture
• Deliver implementation roadmap that specifies how to achieve the to-be architecture;
• Advise on technical synergies, gaps and opportunities identified.

3. DELIVERABLES

The Contractor shall deliver:

• JISR “as-is” architecture, capturing current system/service capabilities;
• JISR “to-be” architecture capturing current and future system/service capabilities, dependencies on platform, infrastructure and AI services, implementation & integration technology choices ;
• JISR roadmap that shows how the to-be architecture will be achieved.

3.1. “As-Is” Architecture

The “as-is” architecture will include the current JISRC services, applications, and system capabilities, including but not limited to:

• NAMIS Application Service (APP023).
• INTEL FS Application Service (APP033).
• HMART Application Service (APP046).
• Allied Command Operations Open Source System (AOSS) Application Service (APP047).
• Core Geographic Information System (GIS) Application Service (APP055).
• ISR Collection Management Tool (ICMT) Application Service (APP056).
• INTEL FS SIGINT Capability (ISC) Application Service (APP057).
• Release Server (RS) Application Service (APP058).
• ISR Coalition Shared Data (CSD) Service (APP060).
• Electromagnetic Warfare Functional Services (EW-FS) Application Service (APP075).
• PNT & NAVWAR Application Service (APP102).
• NATO Automated Biometrics Identification (NABIS) Application Service (APP079).
• Information Environment Assessment (APP110).
• APSS Management and Transfer Service.

The “as-is” architecture report shall address the following areas:

• Executive Summary: Brief overview of the current architecture and objectives of the document.
• Current Architecture Overview: High-level description of the current JISR architecture
• Stakeholders and Roles
