Real-Time Simulation Software Development

The contract requires the development of real-time software to simulate the signal behavior of MUOS satellites, with specific focus on waveform generation and accurate modeling of network latency. The software must interface directly with ground station hardware to ensure seamless integration and operational realism, enabling testing and validation of satellite communication systems under realistic conditions. The project demands expertise in embedded systems, signal processing, and real-time computing to deliver a high-fidelity simulation environment capable of replicating the dynamic performance of MUOS communications. This is a small business set-aside subcontract under NAICS code 541512, designated for total small business participation, issued by the Department of Defense through the FA2291 Aflcmc C3NK office. Performance is required at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, with a posted date of July 7, 2026. The work is intended to support critical defense communication infrastructure by providing a testbed that enhances the reliability and resilience of satellite-ground network operations, with no additional set-aside details beyond the full small business designation.
