On December 4, the U.S. Air Force posted a request for information (RFI) for Data at Rest capabilities. Responses are due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on January 5.
The USAF Life Cycle Management Center, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance & Special Operations Forces (ISR & SOF) Directorate, Tactical Air Control Party Modernization (TACP-M) Program Office (AFLCMC/WISN) is conducting market research to identify possible sources capable of enabling TACP Core Computers with Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Dual Data at Rest (DAR) capabilities.
Currently, TACP Core Computers that have accessed classified networks retain a classified status, creating logistical and operational security concerns during travel and field operations. This modification will allow these computers to ensure classified Data at Rest is properly sanitized, enabling the computers to be considered unclassified when powered off or logged out, mitigating these risks and enhancing operational security. This will be achieved through a minimum hardware update to the hard drives (to support full disk encryption) and a software update.
Review the USAF Data at Rest RFI.
