Description
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is seeking proposals for the Rocket Experimentation for Global Agile Logistics (REGAL) program, which aims to explore the use of commercially-advertised rocket launch systems for rapid point-to-point space transportation and agile global logistics. The program seeks to assess whether commercial rockets can deliver DoD cargo anywhere on the planet in less than one hour. The scope of work includes logistics capability demonstrations, operational experimentation, and special purpose experimentation.
• The program will explore the use of commercially-advertised rocket launch systems for rapid point-to-point space transportation and agile global logistics.
• The goal is to assess whether commercial rockets can deliver DoD cargo anywhere on the planet in less than one hour.
• The scope of work includes logistics capability demonstrations, operational experimentation, and special purpose experimentation.
• The program will concentrate government efforts and resources on the few areas that are unique to PTP military logistics applications.
• No funding will be invested in developing commercial rocket systems.
