Description
The Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is seeking innovative solutions for a Large Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) terminal capable of transmitting data with High-Throughput, Low-Latency (HT/LL) capacity and speeds. The solution should meet the required attributes outlined in Section 3.1 of the Call for Solutions, including terminal size, amplifier support, frequency bands, waveform support, baseband, power, field configurability, tracking, and security. The Government is interested in complete, end-to-end solutions that may include innovative modems, advanced waveform development, data processing techniques, software, or hybrid network integration.
• The solution should have a commercial maturity of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 or higher.
• The solution should be modular and scalable, with a 1-2 meter parabolic reflector antenna transportable in transit cases.
• The solution should support Military X and Ka Band, Commercial Ka and Ku band certified Antenna.
• The solution should have a setup and teardown time of 15 minutes or less.
• The solution should be secure, with TRANSEC per FIPS 140-3 implemented on all data and management links.
The evaluation criteria for the Solution Briefs will be based on Technical Merit, Schedule, and Viability. The Government reserves the right to use external market research in the evaluation of a Company’s viability.
