Receive Only Antennas for Antarctic Polar Orbiting Satellites

The Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic is seeking a rapid‑deployment, field‑tested antenna system capable of receiving and demodulating data from polar‑orbiting satellites over remote Antarctica. The solution must replace legacy antenna hardware, operate under tight bandwidth constraints, support remote maintenance, and be built on open‑standard software to enable scientific and meteorological collaboration. This is an AOI (Area of Interest) under the Commercial Solutions Opening N6523626S0001, aimed at delivering a prototype that can be integrated quickly for mission‑critical operations. • Provide robust, portable antenna hardware suitable for Antarctic conditions. • Enable demodulation of polar‑orbiting satellite data with minimal bandwidth usage. • Support remote diagnostics/maintenance and open‑standard interfacing for scientific data sharing. • Deliver a scalable, rapidly deployable solution on a compressed timeline. • Meet safety‑of‑flight planning and aviation route forecasting requirements.
