Kronos Family of Systems Commercial Solutions Opening

The Space Systems Command (SSC) under the U.S. Space Force issued a Phase 1A Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) seeking prototype solutions for Area of Interest 3 (AOI 3) – Space Intelligence. Offerors must submit a Quad Chart and White Paper addressing one or more of five Focus‑Area Statements (FAS): (1) an enterprise “brain” for sensor‑tasking orchestration across classified and unclassified domains; (2) radar/sensor data ingestion and on‑orbit asset characterization; (3) commercial RF data ingestion, analysis, and distribution to operations centers; (4) edge‑deployed data‑transport solutions tolerant of intermittent connectivity; and (5) real‑time space‑event reporting to the U.S. Space Command Joint Operations Center. Submissions are due September 25, 2026, with questions due September 9, 2026. The solicitation is open to commercial vendors capable of handling classified (Secret/Top‑Secret) environments and integrating with DoD, Intelligence Community, allied, and commercial sensor assets. • Targeted capabilities span advanced software orchestration, data‑fusion, and secure communications for space‑domain operations. • Phase 1A is an initial prototype effort; successful vendors may progress to later phases with larger funding. • Primary point of contact is Heather Baldwin, Agreements Officer, SSC.
