DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Fort Hood, Texas is seeking a vendor to provide an integrated survivable private 5G system designed for military applications. The system must conform to MIL–STD–188–125–1 standards, ensuring military grade protection and survivability against events such as nuclear bursts and localized EMP weapons. It should enable operational continuity, maintaining local network functionality even if regional or national connectivity is disrupted.

The solution must support edge computing capabilities, allowing for the processing of vast sensor data on-site without reliance on remote servers, which can be vulnerable. Low latency is essential to meet the demands of real-time applications, including AI-driven target acquisition and augmented reality HUDs for soldiers. Interoperability is required so that legacy tactical radios can seamlessly connect with modern high-bandwidth devices.

End-to-end encryption based on a zero-trust architecture is mandatory, protecting network integrity even if individual nodes are compromised.
