SUBJECT: SDA Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure Solicitation

RE: Request for Proposal FA240124R0001, SDA Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure

The U.S. Space Force’s Space Development Agency (SDA) is requesting proposals from industry for the Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure (AFCGI) acquisition.

1. The SDA is issuing this solicitation to acquire the services of a ground segment infrastructure provider for the SDA’s Advanced Fire Control (AFC) program. The purpose of the SDA’s AFC program is to deliver integrated space and ground elements that will demonstrate advanced fire control missions. AFC executes operationally relevant prototypes in order to: demonstrate proof of scalability; show military utility; and provide a pathfinder for future proliferation of AFC capabilities.

2. The SDA’s AFC ground segment acquisition, referred to as the AFCGI, is a component of the overarching AFC program. The objective of the AFCGI is to provide a common ground infrastructure and resources to minimize cost and complexity for multiple AFC prototype programs. The efforts of the AFCGI contractor will be central to the successful execution of the Fire-control On Orbit-support to the war Fighter (FOO Fighter or F2) prototype system (launching in Q1FY27) and follow-on “F2-like” demonstration programs.

3. The AFCGI Contractor will:

a. Deliver and manage ground segment resources, including but not limited to Ground Entry Points (GEPs) and terrestrial network connections

b. Fit-out and manage a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facility called the Demonstration Operations Center (DOC)

c. Manage a Government-Procured, Contractor-Operated cloud environment to provide cloud services, including but not limited to hosting space vehicle mission operations center software, data archiving, enabling remote access to data during on-orbit demonstrations, enabling data processing and analysis, hosting mission partner software, and interfacing with mission partner systems

d. Provide program management, systems engineering, integration, verification, and operations and maintenance of the AFC ground infrastructure
