Description
The United States Space Force (USSF) is seeking information from potential suppliers to inform the development of a comprehensive strategy for leveraging commercial solutions to meet USSF requirements for space- and ground-based environmental monitoring. The USSF is interested in innovative solutions that advance remote-sensing capabilities, including novel sensors and payloads, algorithms and processing techniques, and modular, scalable architectures. The USSF also seeks information on commercial delivery and pricing models, including turnkey or hosted-payload solutions, spacecraft and ground-network delivery, and scalable Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) models.
Some key areas of interest include:
• Compact, low-cost GEO/HEO imagers for theater weather imagery and cloud characterization
• Modular, agile LEO/GEO/HEO platforms for environmental monitoring
• Innovative environmental monitoring technologies, including space weather and atmospheric sensing
• Commercial DaaS pricing models and cost frameworks for engineering and data services
• Integration, compatibility, and data standards for environmental monitoring systems
