    Brief

    Project McBride OCD2 seeks to develop an advanced analytical and fusion system for operational command and intelligence sharing. The system will integrate multiple intelligence data streams including feeds from deployed OpCIS systems, Project ZODIAC, and the US Army's Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP). Key objectives include: establishing a robust firm base analytical capability, enabling secure data flow to deployed operational systems, connecting strategic US intelligence feeds, and facilitating Allied data integration into UK Defence systems at the operational level. The solution will be deployed and tested during Exercise Steadfast Defender 27 (Polish Dragoon phase) in 2027 to validate the OCD operational concept. Suppliers should have expertise in intelligence data fusion, secure system integration, multi-national data interoperability, and operational-level command systems.
