- Description
- The Space Development Agency (SDA) is soliciting executive summaries, invited proposal abstracts, and invited proposals for novel architecture concepts, systems, technologies, and capabilities that enable leap-ahead improvements for future tranches of the currently planned Proliferated Network capability layers, or, that enable new capability layers to address other emerging or evolving warfighter needs.� Please see the attachment for details.�� Although not required, SDA strongly encourages submitting an executive summary in advance of a full proposal to ensure interest and potential funding availability.� SDA releases an updated Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) on an annual basis.� Because SDA strives to always maintain an active BAA with similar focus areas, proposers are discouraged from submitting uninvited full proposals shortly before the BAA proposal due date simply to meet the submission deadline.� They should consider instead submitting an executive summary to the subsequent BAA. Amendment 1 -� Under the Space Development Agency (SDA) Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities (STEC) Broad Agency Announcement, FA240123S0001, posted on SAM.gov on January 17, 2023, SDA is issuing this Call for Proposals seekeing full proposals to perform engineering studies, analyses, and technical trades of a �low-Earth orbit (LEO) backhaul� capability to support high bandwidth data transport via the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA).��This LEO backhaul capability is intended to provide a resilient path to quickly move broadband data between edge and main networks worldwide. The total capacity for an initial LEO backhaul capability is on the order of 500Gbps, with an overall system latency on the order of under 100 msec. Additionally, space-based backhaul services must be able to support between 100-1,000 terrestrial users at the 2-10 Gbps rate, and support between 20,000-40,000 users at the 100-500 Mbps rate. The Government is interested in options that leverage, to the maximum extent possible, existing or planned commercial, optically-interconnected orbital mesh network and ground infrastructure.� Potential offerors are encouraged to submit proposals by 26 May 2023.� See the attached Call for Proposals for details.�� (End of Amendment)
