Description
Request for Information (RFI): Advanced Satellite Communication Ground Entry Point
Introduction:
The Space Rapid Capabilities Office (Space RCO) is seeking information from industry on the development and implementation of advanced satellite communication antenna technology that can provide high-gain, low-latency, and reliable communication services for various applications. The purpose of this RFI is to asses the current state of system technology, maturity, and availability to inform current and future Space RCO Programs.
Background:
Space RCO leverages streamlined acquisition authorities to deliver advanced systems that protect space assets and defend joint forces from space-enabled threats. Space RCO works closely with the USSF Field Commands to rapidly develop and field space capabilities that align with Combatant Command needs and Service priorities.
Space RCO is seeking information on a multi-purpose phased array (AESA) that can support a wide range of missions (such as, but not limited to, Ground Entry Point for satellite communications; satellite telemetry, tracking, and command at all orbital regimes). The system should be capable of operating on S-band (2.0-2.3 GHz), L-band (1.7-1.9 GHz), and C-band (4-8 GHz) frequencies. Solutions should be scalable in G/T, EIRP, beamforming, and focused on software as the primary means of growth and mission diversity.
Responses with potential solutions should be focused on a tiered approach with cost/pricing commensurate to the tiers. Example of tiers (but not limited to):
AESA equivalent to 1.5 meter parabolic performance AESA equivalent to 7.3 meter parabolic performance AESA equivalent to 13.2 meter parabolic performanceRequirements:
The advanced satellite communication ground entry point should meet the following requirements:
Frequency Bands: The system should be capable of operating on S-band, L-band, and C-band frequencies. Phased Array Technology: The system ...
