Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Novel Innovation Pipeline for Enhanced Resilience (SNIPER)

The Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Novel Innovation Pipeline for Enhanced Resilience (SNIPER) is a government initiative to improve existing SDA systems through innovative software tools. The goal is to take an existing solution and rapidly prototype it to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 8, making it ready for potential fielding into an operational baseline. Potential capabilities include machine learning, automation, and artificial intelligence applications. • The initiative will utilize other contract vehicles and may not result in a direct contract. • The government has set aside $5-7M in funds for innovation over the next 3 years. • The government program team is reviewing RFI responses and following up with vendors aligned with SSC priorities.
