Netherlands – Research and Development services on security and defence materials – CyNOpS

The Contract involves the redesign/further development of an existing IT system not created for operational use, into a system that can and will be used operationally by the Netherlands Ministry of Defence. The system, called CyNOpS; Cyber Node Operations System, is a system capable of receiving and transmitting a broad spectrum of digital signals (100 MHz – 6 GHz) and must include a diverse set of equipment such as ASICS, SDRs and FPGAs that are controlled from one central point of operations. The redesign/further development of the system will be a collaborative effort/co creation between the future supplier, the Royal Netherlands Navy and TNO (Nederlandse organisatie voor Toegepast-Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek). It is expected most or all work will take place at an NLMOD-location. Furthermore, support needed for the duration of the agreement has to be in the Dutch language, given the complexity of the work and end product. After successful completion and acceptance of the prototype, a first batch of fifteen (15) systems will be produced and delivered to the Contracting Authority. The redesign/further development and delivery Agreement is concluded for a period of 24 months, with an option to extend the Agreement for 12 months once.
