NATO Request for Information: HQ SACT Cyberspace Warfare Development and Experimentation Campaign

Headquarters Supreme Allied Command Transformation (HQ SACT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) in support of HQ SACT’s 2026 cyberspace warfare development and experimentation campaign.

The objective of this RFI is to identify existing and under-development cyberspace operations concepts, products, or capabilities that HQ SACT can consider for warfare development and experimentation in support of NATO cyberspace operations. This RFI is seeking innovative, tailored, and actionable experiment proposals in the area of cyberspace operations to inform HQ SACT cyberspace warfare and capability development efforts. Generic proposals to demonstrate, validate, or evaluate commercial products will not be considered. Proposals related to cyber security of systems, services, and information will not be considered. Only proposals applicable to operations in cyberspace and supporting capabilities will be considered. Generic proposals that do not result in a tangible product (demonstrator, minimum viable product, concept, etc.) will not be considered.

This RFI does not constitute a commitment to issue a future Request for Proposal (RFP). This notice is not a formal request for submissions as part of a procurement. The purpose of this general request is to engage with industry through collaboration to help identify existing and under-development concepts, products, or capabilities to inform cyberspace domain development activities. 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 cost for which reimbursement will be required or sought.

Further, respondents are advised that HQ SACT will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this RFI. The costs for responding to this RFI shall be borne solely by the responding party. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any subsequent RFP if issued in the future. All information shared with HQ SACT might be shared with contracted third parties to support the capability development process, as needed. Provision of data, or lack of, will not prejudice any respondent in the event of a competitive bidding process.
