Contracting Office: Space & Missile Systems Center Spacelift Range and Network Systems Division (SMC/RNK) 483 N. Aviation Blvd. El Segundo, CA 90245-2808 Summary: The Air Force Space and Missile Center, in support of the Range and Network Systems Division (SMC/RN), is seeking contractor capability statements and potential solutions to make a transition in the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) ground communications architecture from its current serial-based configuration to an Internet Protocol (IP) network over the next two to six years using open standards and Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products. The AFSCN is a worldwide low data rate network of Remote Tracking Stations (RTS) responsible for connecting Satellite Operation Centers to satellites to support launch, early orbit, on-orbit and end-of-life Telemetry, Tracking and Commanding (TT&C) state-of-health operations (See Attachment #1). The current AFSCN ground communication system relies on proprietary Wide Area Network Interface Units (WANIU) to program multiplex and de-multiplex serial and IP data, respectively. These WANIUs were developed in the 1990's and are approaching their end-of-life due to parts obsolescence and increasing maintenance costs. A replacement to the WANIUS will be necessary to maintain the operational readiness of the AFSCN and support the AFSCN transition to an IP-based network. ****************PLEASE READ THE RFI WORD DOCUMENT ****************
