AI Contract Overview

The Defense Experimentation Using Commercial Space Internet Resilient multi-Orbit Airborne Module project is a federal effort focused on developing and testing satellite communications systems that integrate with commercial space internet constellations across low, medium, and geostationary earth orbits. The primary goal is to create a new terminal with optimized size, weight, power, and cost that can be easily integrated into aircraft platforms to ensure resilient, high-throughput, and globally available SATCOM capabilities. Currently held by Intelsat General Communications LLC under contract FA238524CB016, the project has a value of 11,887,494 dollars and is expected to end on August 30, 2026. The current agreement is structured as a cost-plus fixed fee contract. A full and open competition is anticipated for the recompete opportunity, which is classified as a high-confidence full-recompete. The effort is managed by the Department of Defense through the USAF AFMC AFRL.

Full Description

Predicted recompete opportunity based on federal award data.
Current Contract: FA238524CB016 Incumbent: INTELSAT GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS LLC Contract Value: $11,887,494 Potential End Date: 2026-08-30T00:00:00.000Z Competition: FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION Pricing: COST PLUS FIXED FEE Classification: full-recompete (Confidence: high - 90/100)
This effort will develop and experimentally test satellite communications systems capable of operating with multiple commercial space internet constellations operating in low, medium, and geostationary earth orbits offering a new low size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) terminal that easily integrates onto aircraft platforms to provide resilient, high throughput, globally available, and highly reliable SATCOM. This effort was competitive. This was awarded as a cost-plus fixed fee contract due to the uncertainties in pricing this effort. In selecting the appropriate contract type, the contracting officer considered the factors in FAR 16.104.
