CAPACITY ON A UHF-CAPABLE ON-ORBIT MEO SATELLITEThe U.S. Space Force, through the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Rocket Propulsion Division, is seeking information on commercially owned and operated MEO satellites with UHF-capable payloads to support an experimental campaign aimed at evaluating the feasibility of augmenting or eventually replacing the existing GEO UHF satellite constellation. The focus is on immediate or near-term access to on-orbit bandwidth to conduct technical demonstrations that characterize spectrum usage, waveform performance, and user equipment operation within a MEO UHF environment. A key objective is to demonstrate interoperability between potential MEO-based UHF systems and the current GEO UHF network, with the broader goal of developing a time-sequenced transition pathway. While an Initial Launch Capability by 2030 is considered potentially useful, the government strongly encourages innovative proposals that can deliver on-orbit service well before that date, recognizing that this initial effort is not intended to represent a final operational architecture but rather a foundational step for future capabilities. The solicitation, identified as RFI-RJZX-2026-RAPID, was posted on July 24, 2026, with responses due by August 10, 2026, and follows an amendment issued on July 23, 2026, which corrected the uplink and downlink frequency bands in Section 4.0.a.i and replaced the prior attachment with an updated version. All other content and deadlines remain unchanged. The point of contact for inquiries is Paola Sanchez-Medina, with secondary support from DeAnna R. Salazar, and the office is located at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, with performance expected in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This RFI is classified as a sources-sought notice under NAICS code 517410, indicating it is a market research effort with no associated contract value, delivery schedule, evaluation factors, or binding requirements at this stage.
