AI Contract Overview

The Federal Integrated Product Team (FIPT) is seeking information from industry regarding mobile Satellite Communications (SATCOM) solutions capable of supporting multiple SATCOM frequency bands including Ku, C, X, Ka, and L. The solution must feature a terminal that operates reliably in on-the-move environments with vehicle speeds up to 85 MPH, and possess both industry-required certifications and ARSTRAT X-Band certification or be in the process of obtaining it. Key technical requirements include an onboard modem, network accelerator, spectrum analyzer, auto-tracking, and network line driving capabilities, with ruggedized design conforming to IP-65 or IP-67 standards. The terminal must allow for quick transceiver swaps within 5-10 minutes to change network bands, and provide external interfaces for routing, encryption, bandwidth management, Ethernet, and fiber optic connections. It should support simultaneous data, voice, and video teleconferencing with sufficient bandwidth, enable remote login and destruction of IOS, and be adaptable to environments lacking line-of-sight visibility through terminal extension capabilities. Additionally, the hardware and software must follow an open architecture using Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government-Off-The-Shelf components and enable accelerated integration of advanced technologies identified in related documentation. The package must meet U.S. Government and Department of Defense accreditations, be ruggedized for austere climatic conditions ranging from -32 to +120 degrees Fahrenheit, and be resistant to environmental hazards like rain, dust, sand, and moisture while maintaining minimal size, weight, and power requirements. Interested parties are invited to respond with white papers outlining their capabilities and relevant experience, addressing parts or all of the request. Responses and inquiries are to be directed via email to the SPAWAR Contracting Officer specified in the notice.

Full Description

The Federal Integrated Product Team (FIPT) is seeking information from industryon approaches, products and/or standard mobile Satellite Communications(SATCOM) solutions that can support one or multiple SATCOM bands. Those bandsinclude but are not limited to Ku, C, X, Ka, and L. The SATCOM terminal mustprove able to operate in driving environments (On The Move) up to vehiclespeeds of 85 miles per hour (MPH). The SATCOM terminal must possess anyindustry required certifications and ARSTRAT X-Band certification (or in theprocess of certification). The terminal must have an onboard installed modem,network accelerator, spectrum analyzer, auto-tracking, network line driving,manageable, scalable, and possess an IP-65 or IP-67 rating. The SATCOM unitmust allow for not more than a 5-10 minute transceiver swap out in order tochange Network bands. It must provide external interfaces to routingequipment, encryption devices, bandwidth management software, Ethernet cabling,and fiber optic cabling extensions. The SATCOM terminal must yield a bandwidthuplink/downlink throughput that supports simultaneous data processing, voiceoperations, and video teleconferencing. The desired platform should allow forremote log in capabilities and remote destruction capabilities of theInternetwork Operating System (IOS). The terminal should be able to support anextension of the terminal when in operating environments that do not afford theability to acquire Line of Sight (LOS). Hardware and software designs shouldinclude open architecture Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) andGovernment-Off-The-Shelf capabilities. The SATCOM package should be able toaccelerate all services while converging all IP injections into one uniqueubiquitous network. In addition, it should have the ability to rapidlyintegrate mature advanced technology in focus areas identified in Section 2.0and have the required accreditations from the United States Government and theDepartment of Defense (DoD). The SATCOM package should be ruggedized withminimal requirements to support Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP). In addition,it should operate in austere locations that can get as cold as -32 and +120degree temperatures that must be protected but not limited to rain, dust, sand,and moisture. Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI with a white paperidentifying their capabilities, to include past relevant experience and anyinformation the interested party deems appropriate to demonstrate theircapability and interest in the contents of this RFI - see attachment fordetails and instructions. Interested parties are welcome to address thecomplete RFI or a portion thereof. Responses and questions shall be submitted via email to the SPAWAR ContractingOfficer Theodore Rivera at contact@example.gov.
