WIDEBAND SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION M67854-25-I-2029
Summary
AI-generated · Sep 17, 2025PM TCE is assessing portable/flyaway multi-band SATCOM terminals to support expeditionary communications. Emphasis is on highly packable designs with minimal transit-case weight and count, rapid setup/tear-down, and airline-checkable practicality, with Ku/Ka as priorities and X-band strongly desired.
Solutions should operate on GEO networks with a pathway to MEO and HEO, with LEO support considered beneficial. Respondents should address compliance with applicable DoD SATCOM standards and certification pathways, including MIL-STD-188-164C and Wideband Global SATCOM Ka compatibility/certification where applicable.
Program Manager Tactical Communications and Electromagnetic Warfare Systems (PM TCE) is assessing portable/flyaway multi-band satellite communication (SATCOM) terminal options to support expeditionary communications. The focus is on highly packable terminals minimal transit case count and weight, rapid setup/tear-down, and airline-checkable where practical with Ku/Ka as priorities and X-band strongly desired. Solutions shall operate on Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) networks with a pathway to Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) (with Low Earth Orbit(LEO) support considered beneficial). Offerors should address compliance with applicable Department of Defense (DoD) SATCOM standards and certification pathways (e.g., MIL-STD-188-164C, and Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) Ka compatibility/certification where applicable).
