Closed Solicitation · DEPT OF DEFENSE
AI Summary
The Department of Defense is seeking information on portable multi-band satellite communication terminals for expeditionary use. Solutions should prioritize minimal weight and rapid setup, operating on GEO networks with potential for MEO and HEO support. Compliance with DoD SATCOM standards is essential.
Program Manager Tactical Communications and Electromagnetic Warfare Systems (PM TCE) is assessing portable/flyaway multi-band satellite communication (SATCOM) terminal options to support expeditionary communications. The focus is on highly packable terminals—minimal transit case count and weight, rapid setup/tear-down, and airline-checkable where practical—with Ku/Ka as priorities and X-band strongly desired. Solutions shall operate on Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) networks with a pathway to Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) (with Low Earth Orbit(LEO) support considered beneficial). Offerors should address compliance with applicable Department of Defense (DoD) SATCOM standards and certification pathways (e.g., MIL-STD-188-164C, and Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) Ka compatibility/certification where applicable).
