STATEMENT OF WORK FOR THE
SDA TRACKING LAYER TRANCHE 0 (T0)
WIDE FIELD OF VIEW (WFOV) PROGRAM
Dated June 15, 2020
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The National Defense Strategy acknowledges that space is vital to the U.S. way of life, its national security and modern warfare. In an era of renewed great power competition, maintaining U.S. advantage in space is critical to winning these long-term strategic competitions.
Potential adversaries seek to undermine this goal by employing strategies that exploit real or perceived vulnerabilities in our current and planned National Security Space systems. In addition, these potential adversaries are developing and demonstrating multi-domain threats to national security much faster than the U.S. can deploy responsive space-based capabilities. The Department of Defense (DoD) established the Space Development Agency (SDA) on 12 March 2019 as a response to this problem.
SDA is responsible for defining and monitoring the Department's future threat-driven space architecture and accelerating the development and fielding of new military space capabilities necessary to ensure our technological and military advantage in space for national defense. To achieve this mission, SDA will unify and integrate next-generation space capabilities to deliver the National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA), a resilient military sensor and data transport capability via a proliferated space architecture primarily in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). SDA will not necessarily develop and field all capabilities of the NDSA but rather orchestrate those efforts across DoD and fill in gaps in capabilities while providing the integrated architecture.
SDA's mission begins and ends with the warfighter. SDA recognizes that sufficient or "good enough" capabilities in the hands of the warfighter sooner is better than delivering the perfect solution too late. SDA will deliver capabilities to joint warfighting forces in 2-year tranches, starting with Tranche 0 in Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22). The layers of the SDA architecture are as follows:
• Transport Layer, the backbone of the architecture, to provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to a full range of warfighter applications;
• Tracking Layer, to provide global indications, warning, tracking and targeting of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems;
• Battle Management Layer, to provide architecture tasking, mission Command and Control (C2) and data dissemination to support time-sensitive kill chain closure at campaign scales;
• Custody Layer, to provide 24x7, all-weather custody of time-sensitive, left-of-launch surface mobile targets (e.g., to support targeting for advanced missiles);
• Navigation Layer, to provide Alternate Position, Navigation, and Timing (A-PNT) for GPS-denied environments;
• Deterrence Layer, to deter hostile action in deep space (beyond Geosynchronous Earth Orbit and up to lunar distances);
• Support Layer, to enable the ground and launch segments to support a responsive space architecture.
1.1 TRACKING LAYER WFOV PROGRAM OBJECTIVE AND GOALS
The SDA Tracking Layer will provide global indications, warning and tracking of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems. In T0, two programs will collaborate in the tracking layer: a WFOV program focusing on technologies necessary to populate a proliferated LEO constellation and a Medium Field of View (MFOV) program focusing on technologies necessary for additional performance. The WFOV space vehicles (SVs) are planned to be launched in late FY22 and the MFOV SVs are planned to be launched in mid-FY23; both sets of SVs will provide complementary mission data to C2 and operational interfaces. T0 is known as the warfighter immersion tranche, a step that builds a path towards warfighter techniques, tactics, procedures and Concepts Of Operations (CONOPS) for future tranches in a proliferated LEO constellation. This Statement of Work (SOW) will focus on the T0 WFOV program and will reference the MFOV program for background or context. Given no unforeseen challenges SDA anticipates up to two (2) awards for the WFOV program, however SDA reserves the right to make no more than one (1) award.
The priorities of the T0 WFOV program are:
• Schedule (#1): to demonstrate that SDA and industry can launch T0 WFOV SVs by the end of FY22;
• Cost (#2): to demonstrate that a hypersonic missile warning capability can be achieved at an affordable cost to populate a proliferated LEO architecture;
• Performance (#3): to achieve minimally essential, threat-driven, warfighter-relevant technical and operational capabilities.
The performance goals of the T0 WFOV program are:
• Develop and deliver space vehicles integrated with infrared sensors with sufficient sensitivity and processing to detect and track hypersonic vehicles from low Earth orbit;
• Characterize performance of SV-to-SV and SV-to-ground communications paths;
• Integrate with a proliferated Transport Layer to provide tracking information directly over tactical data links;
• Demonstrate interoperability between SVs provided by different vendors;
• Assess how on-board processing, communications infrastructure and advanced algorithms can enable more efficient use of communications bandwidth;
• Develop a CONOPS for a global tracking capability;
• Verify functional and performance requirements to inform future trade studies on communications; space and ground processing; and, the numbers, types and capabilities of space-based sensors needed for a full global capability.
Task statements, for example “shall” statements, can be found in this SOW and are numbered for clarity.
2.0 SCOPE AND DESCRIPTION OF WORK
The Contractor shall:
1. Design, fabricate, assemble and test up to eight (8) SVs, each with a commoditized bus1, an infrared, wide field of view sensor, intersatellite optical communications package (option for other bands), ground communications package and a Battle Management, Command, Control, and Communications (BMC3) module;
2. Support the mating of the SVs to the launch vehicle via a launch dispenser of the Contractor’s design or purchase. The dispenser shall be stackable (e.g., the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Secondary Payload Adapter family of adaptors) to facilitate launch of SVs from multiple SDA layers simultaneously;
3. Develop Mission Data Processing (MDP) software and Contractor-specific Telemetry, Tracking and Commanding (TT&C) software components to be integrated into the Naval Research Laboratory’s Neptune® constellation operations software core. These systems shall integrate with the Government-provided subsystems of the C2 system, for example the Ground Entry Points, communications network, operations facility and other functions2;
4. Support development of open standards at the physical, data and network layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model in concert with SDA and the other Associate Contractors. Additionally, determine required modifications or extensions to capabilities for interoperability with networks using dissimilar service and network management approaches;
5. Design and assemble a satellite test bed with sufficient fidelity for testing of the space and ground segment software (this test bed may remain at the Contractor’s facility);
1 A commoditized bus has been designed for manufacture and is suitable for, or currently being produced by, an assembly line like process at economies of scale.
2 For clarity this SOW does not use the overarching term ground system and instead specifies its subsystems like the Ground Entry Points, the communications network, TT&C and MDP software, operations center facility and information technology infrastructure like servers, routers, firewalls, etc.
6. Provide a Battle Management Command, Control, & Communications (BMC3) module on the SVs that demonstrates fundamental capability and supports experimentation in preparation for future tranches;
7. Deliver engineering model intersatellite link and router hardware to support interoperability verification at SDA’s Hardware In The Loop Laboratory located at the Naval Research Laboratory Washington DC location. The hardware provided should be sufficient to verify performance at the physical, data, and network layers of the standard OSI model;
8. Deliver SVs to the launch facility not later than thirty (30) days before launch and assist with satellite dispenser and launch vehicle integration as necessary;
9. Perform launch and early orbit satellite checkout;
10. Transition operations to the Government after satellite checkout;
11. Support Government missile flight tests3 in which the T0 WFOV SVs would participate
