These include critical capabilities for communication; position, navigation, and timing; missile warning; weather; imaging, surveillance, and reconnaissance; space situation awareness; defensive space control; and battle management command and control. The Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles Directorate (AFRL/RV) is seeking proposals from offeror's to advance the technology and scientific knowledge supporting all aspects of space systems.
