The Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) requires an easy-to-use and stand-alone appliance that provides users with the ability to rapidly produce deployable imagery servers for disadvantaged and disconnected operators. The appliance must afford the user a simple interface for selecting an Area of Interest (AOI) and subsequently creating a removable media storage device. Data transfer of vast amounts of geospatial data to the removable media storage device must meet critical time constraints to support contingency operations. The removable media storage device must be compatible with other visualization programs and serve as a remote imagery server for disadvantaged and disconnected operators. Appliance must provide the capability to rapidly update all datasets and will not require customer to manage the geospatial data.

The Government seeks to identify interested offerors for this potential procurement action and to gather information that may influence the shape of any future solicitation. Interested vendors should provide contact information and product literature to the Government point of contact.
