Area of Interest (AOI) for Secure Mobile Device Communications (SMDC) Prototype Other Transaction (OT)

The Defense Information Systems Agency Emerging Technologies Directorate Advanced Concepts Division seeks to develop an innovative and user-friendly Retransmission Device to bridge the gap between Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) standards and operational needs. The ideal solution, likely a sleeve or integrated case, will satisfy the new CSfC hardwired connection requirement internally while appearing as a normal case to the outside observer. The goal is to eliminate conspicuous external cables, remove the logistical burden of separate devices, and restore full tactical mobility for users.
