## 1. Why ETAF Needs This System
The Ethiopian Air Force operates one of the most complex procurement ecosystems in East Africa. ETAF acquires **software** (radar processors, flight planning systems, C2 middleware), **hardware** (routers, servers, radio sets, avionics), and **services** (maintenance contracts, training, cloud infrastructure) from hundreds of domestic and international vendors. Every vendor relationship is a **potential attack surface** — and traditional procurement security focuses on price, delivery, and specification compliance, **not** on the security posture of the vendor itself.
ETAF-SCVR closes this critical gap by introducing **structured, repeatable, evidence-based vendor risk assessment** that evaluates every supplier across eight security dimensions before contract award, during performance, and at renewal.
