Overview

The Network Enabled Army (NEA) programme will modernise the NZDF tactical command and control (C2) systems in the land environment together with supporting computers, communications and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) networks which support deployed land forces.

Submissions to achieve Cabinet Approval are scheduled for the first half of 2015. This Cabinet Approval will authorise the Secretary of Defence to initiate the programme.

Until Cabinet Approval to Initiate, NEA remains in the “pre-acquisition” phase. Lead-in activities for transition to the “acquisition” phase are in place. NZDF and MOD analysts are continuing research of the market place and of systems in use or under development in other defence organisations. To protect the integrity of future tendering activity, potential vendors are advised to exercise caution with respect to making approaches to or receiving information from any member of the NZ Defence Force or the Ministry of Defence, unless it is though the contact identified below.
