AI Contract Overview

The Department of Defense is seeking prototype proposals for Project 26-14, the Space Based Infrared System Consolidated Relay Ground Station Modernization. This initiative aims to modernize the existing SBIRS ground architecture by replacing obsolete and difficult-to-sustain hardware, specifically the Command Telemetry Link Extender, IOPlex, and serial cryptographic equipment, with modern IP-based solutions. The project focuses on expanding and upgrading capabilities at the Mission Control Station and its backup. The resulting prototype must support the entire SBIRS constellation, including GEO, HEO, and DSP assets. Additionally, the system must demonstrate compatibility with Next Generation GEO and future Next Generation Polar constellations to ensure long-term operational viability. This solicitation, numbered 45186, is managed by the Space Systems Command to enhance the overall reliability and supportability of the ground operating environment.

Full Description

SpEC: Request for Prototype Proposals – Posted 08 October 2026 The purpose of this effort is to modernize the existing Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) ground architecture by developing a prototype that replaces obsolete and difficult-to-sustain hardware, including Command Telemetry Link Extender, IOPlex, and serial cryptographic hardware, with modern supportable IP-based solutions. This prototype must expand and upgrade the capabilities of the existing Consolidated Relay Ground Station (CRGS) at the Mission Control Station (MCS) and Mission Control Station Backup (MCSB). The modernized prototype must be capable of supporting the full SBIRS constellation – GEO, HEO, DSP – and demonstrate compatibility with the Next Generation GEO and future Next Generation Polar constellations.
