Summary

AI-generated · Mar 12, 2026

Engage in market research to identify innovative Next-Generation Contingency Hub Node solutions, including satellite antennas and hub technology, with the aim of understanding current capabilities, potential approaches, best practices, and to encourage competition and new entrants in the Federal marketplace. The effort outlines a baseline CHN concept comprised of a 2.2-meter antenna, 4–6 hub modems, a fast ~15-minute setup, and specific performance targets for GEO and MEO constellations (Geostationary links around 20 Mbps+ and 40 Mbps, ~500 ms latency; MEO up, 80+ Mbps and down 160+ Mbps; 125 ms for spoke modems), plus 5–7 transport cases (plus cases for modem and hub), with an emphasis on interoperable, open, non-proprietary architecture and end-to-end integration across antenna, terminal, and modem solutions, including an intuitive GUI and Unified Network Operations.

To participate, prepare a capability statement (maximum five pages/slides) that includes your company details, attendee names and contact info, your small or large business status under the applicable code, and a summary of the capability you would demonstrate. The submission should cover the static antenna display (2–3 m parabola) with RF specs, transit-case configuration, and details for spoke modems (4–6 units) and hub modems (4–6 units), including supported waveforms for interoperability with Commercial and Government Gateways, GUI usability, and a Modular Open Standard Architecture with non-proprietary interfaces. The government will review statements and select a limited number of respondents to participate in the Next-Generation Hub Node Engagement (date range provided in the notice). Attendance is free and restricted to U.S. citizens; this is market research, not a contract, and responses are voluntary.

Introduction This announcement is for market research, information, information gathering and planning purposes only. This is NOT a solicitation or a Request for Proposal (RFP). Product Managers Mission Network and SATCOM are hosting a technology engagement with industry partners regarding innovative solutions for Contingency Hub Nodes including Satellite Antennas and Hub Technology. Purpose of the Event The primary purpose of this event is to conduct market research and foster a collaborative environment between the government and industry. We aim to: Share our vision and objectives for the Contingency Hub Node (CHN). Gather information on the current state of technology and industry capabilities. Identify potential solutions and innovative approaches. Understand industry best practices and challenges. Encourage competition and new entrants into the Federal marketplace. Baseline CHN Characteristics: 2.2M Antenna 4-6 Hub Modems 15 minute setup GEO: 20Mbps+ WGS, 40 Mbps Com. 500mS; MEO: 80+Mbps (up) 160+ Mbps (down). 125mS Reprogrammable Spoke Modems Hub Capable Modems 5-7 Transport Cases (no vehicle required) 1 Modem Case 1 Hub Case How to Participate: 1.Interested parties shall submit a Capability Statement to the Government no later than 1300 EST 03 April 2026 via e-mail to XXXX@army.mil and XXXX@army.mil. ? 2.Capability Statement must include a maximum of five (5) pages/slides or less: Company Name CAGE Code and/or UEI Full Name and Title of Attendee(s) Email Address and Phone Number for each attendee A statement confirming whether your company is a small or large business under NAICS Code 334220. A summary of the capability that will be demonstrated: Discuss the capability of the static display. Antenna Solution (size between 2-3m parabola), RF Quality Specifications (Linear EIRP, G/T, Antenna Size and Transmit and Receive Gain, Receive System Noise Temperature, GEO/MEO/LEO/HEO Constellation Certification), transit cases configuration and size. Spoke Modem Solutions (qty 4-6); Transit case(s) configuration, size and weight, Waveforms supported for interoperability with Commercial and Government Gateway, reprogram ability. Hub Modem Solutions (qty 4-6); Transit case(s) configuration and size, Hub Waveforms supported to enable Gateway operations. Graphical User Interface; Intuitive to assist network access, operations, troubleshooting and maintenance. Modular Open Standard Architecture - Non-proprietary. Demonstrates integration across antenna, terminal and modem solutions, open application interfaces, Enterprise Management and Control (EMC) and Unified Network Operations The Government will review all Capability Statements received timely and select a limited number of respondents to participate in the Next Generation Hub Node Engagement from 28 29 April 2026. Important Disclaimers Attendance is at no cost to the Government and restricted to U.S. citizens. All information presented is for market research purposes and does not constitute a commitment from the U.S. Government. This announcement is not a contract, request for proposal, promise to contract, or a commitment of any kind. The Government will not be liable for any costs incurred by attendees.
