AI Contract Overview

On August 11, 2011, the Air Force Research Laboratory's Battlespace Environment Division held an Industry Day at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, to provide information regarding the upcoming Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Velocity, Ion, Density, and Irregularities (VIDI) sensor payloads. These sensors are intended to be space-qualified and integrated as stand-alone payloads on the low-inclination portion of the COSMIC II satellite constellation as part of the Space Situational Awareness Environmental Monitoring (SSAEM) program. The goal is to enhance predictive capabilities for equatorial plasma irregularities. The Industry Day included a half-day session with an opportunity for breakout discussions and was targeted at potential contractors interested in the anticipated RFP release slated for Fall 2011. Participation required registration by August 8, 2011, with attendance restricted to U.S. citizens who provided detailed identification and security information. Attendees were required to present government-issued ID for entry into the base and meeting. The event was sponsored by the Department of Defense and managed by program managers Neal Peck and Capt JoAnne Cannon, who served as primary contacts for registration and inquiries. This Industry Day served as a preparatory market research event to engage interested parties and facilitate their understanding of project requirements and expectations prior to the official RFP solicitation.
