Request for information (rfi):
•1) 1) purpose - this is a request for information (rfi) for planning purposes only. The united states air force (usaf) weather system follow-on (wsf) program within the space and missile systems center (smc) remote sensing systems directorate (rs) is performing market research to identify capable industry sources with full system solutions to meet anticipated department of defense (dod) space-based environmental monitoring (sbem) requirements for cloud characterization (cc) and theater weather imagery (twi). The system solutions will consist of a space segment, containing cost effective, space-based low earth orbiting (leo) sun-synchronous electro-optical infrared (eo/ir) sensor(s) with real-time data broadcast capabilities, integrated with a to be determined (tbd) dod, civil, or commercial ground segment. Smc/rs seeks to receive information that will further clarify the industrial base landscape so that the government can consider developing a solicitation in accordance with federal acquisition regulation (far) 6.1, full and open competition.
2) background - the dod relies on a family of systems (fos) for its sbem data consisting of military, civil, and allied international systems. The eo/ir fos provides cc and twi coverage, as well as other environmental information. The eo/ir fos architecture requires five geostationary earth orbit (geo) satellites and three leo sun-synchronous satellites. Current leo satellites defense meteorological satellite program (dmsp), polar orbiting environmental system (poes), suomi national polar-orbiting partnership (s-npp), joint polar satellite system (jpss), and metop are providing global eo/ir coverage to meet refresh requirements. Wsf-e plans to procure a full space and ground system solution to mitigate a potential gap in leo eo/ir coverage in the early morning orbit with an initial launch capability (ilc) of fy24.
3) general program assumptions
