On October 10, the U.S. Army posted a request for information (RFI) for Hardware and Software Architecture recommendations for Cross Domain Solution (CDS). Questions are due by October 25, and responses are due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on November 27.
CDS are a key component to information dominance and Warfighter operations that provide the ability to access or transfer information between different security domains. Today, the Warfighter must share intelligence and command and control (C2) information with Joint forces, as well as Mission Partners.
The CDS provides a controlled interface to manually or automatically enable and/or restrict the access or transfer of information between two or more security domains based on a predetermined security policy.
The CDS is an integrated information assurance system composed of specialized software and hardware that is designed to enforce domain separation and typically include some form of content filtering, which is used to designate information that is unauthorized for transfer between security domains or levels of classification, such as between different military divisions, intelligence agencies, or other operations which critically depend on the timely sharing of potentially sensitive information.
The timely exchange of Situational Awareness (SA), Command and Control (C2), Intelligence and Sensor data between various security domains is critical. A CDS capable of connecting to multiple security domains on a single hardware device will allow the Warfighter to transfer the data during mission operations.
Review the Army CDS RFI.
