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.
