Multi-Domain Data Fusion for Space Situational Awareness (SSA)

The contract seeks to develop advanced data fusion engines capable of integrating space, cyber, and terrestrial sensor inputs to enable real-time, predictive space situational awareness. This effort aims to synthesize heterogeneous data streams into a unified operational picture, enhancing the ability to detect, track, and anticipate threats and activities in the space domain. The solution must support rapid processing, adaptive algorithmic frameworks, and robust cybersecurity integration to ensure mission-critical performance under dynamic and contested conditions. The work is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 518210, with a response deadline of August 13, 2026, and is sponsored by the Department of Defense through the Air Force Research Laboratory under the contract office FA9453. Performance is expected to support national security objectives related to space domain awareness, though specific locations for performance have not been designated. The initiative emphasizes innovation in multi-domain sensor fusion and demands technical maturity to deliver operational readiness within a constrained timeframe.
