Abstract

OCD2 will seek to further the development of firm base analytical and fusion system, as well as provide the right connections to allow for data flow to the deployed system. The OCD2 feeds intelligence data to deployed OpCIS as well draw a feed from Pj ZODIAC through appropriate means. OCD2 will also require delivery of a connection to a strategic US intelligence feed, from US Army’s Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP), and enable supporting Allied data to be drawn into UK Defence systems, at the operational level. OCD2 seeks to secure necessary and proportionate support to enable successful deployment of MCBRIDE onto Ex Steadfast Defender 27, Ex Polish Dragoon phase, in 2027. This will prove the OCD concept.
