About this file
This Statement of Objectives (SOO) details the 338th Training Squadron's requirements for a new Deployable SATCOM Terminal to replace the existing Ground Multi-Band Terminal at Keesler Air Force Base. The system must be a portable, dual-hub SATCOM terminal with a 1.8-to-2.4 meter Small Aperture Antenna capable of operating across four SHF bands (C, X, Ku, Ka) on both commercial and military satellites. Key system requirements include modular multi-band switching, compact and deployable design, ruggedized transit cases, two-person deployment capability, and remote operation via laptop or tablet interface.
The associated Sources Sought Notice indicates this is market research to identify potential sources for the SATCOM terminal system, with responses due by 10:00 PM CST on Wednesday, 14 May 2025. Interested parties must email responses to Samantha Conger and Kimberley Alvarez, providing company details, CAGE code, company size status, ownership information, and a written statement demonstrating capability to meet the specified requirements. The opportunity is being conducted by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command, with the solicitation number FA3010_SATCOM_Conger. No solicitation or proposal is being requested at this time, and this notice does not guarantee future procurement.

Statement of Objectives 338TRS SATCOM Modernization (Deployable SATCOM Terminal)
5 May 2025 Prepared by:
338TRS/TRR
Keesler AFB, MS
The 338 TRS requires a replacement for the Ground Multi-Band Terminal (GMT) with a Deployable SATCOM Terminal.
Objectives:
Deliver a portable, interoperable, and deployable dual-hub SATCOM terminal system, capable of operating across four SHF bands (C, X, Ku, Ka) on both commercial and military satellites. This system will be designed for ease of use, rapid deployment, and educational applications.
Required System Features:
· Configuration: Utilizing a 1.8-to-2.4 meter Small Aperture Antenna (SAA).
· Multi-Band Operation: Modular switching between C, X, Ku, and Ka-bands via an innovative modular feed boom design.
· Compact & Deployable: Meeting a strict antenna size requirement of 1.8-to-2.4 meters for portability and featuring secure mounting capabilities for concrete pad locations.
· Transit Case Design: All system components will be housed in ruggedized, transportable transit cases optimized for storage, transit, and rapid deployment.
· Two-Person Deployment: The system will be engineered for assembly and operation by a team of two trained personnel.
· Remote Operation: Full system control and monitoring capabilities via a vendor provided/programmed laptop or tablet interface, enabling remote operation from a Cyber-Physical Power System (CPPS) classroom environment.
System Components:
· Outdoor Equipment:
· 1.8-to-2.4m SAA
· Modular feed boom assembly for all four SHF bands
· Integrated modem assembly with spectrum analyzer and pointing assistance
· RF ODU and Network Access Assembly (NAA)
· Indoor Equipment:
· 2 Ruggedized laptops or tablets with control and monitoring software
· Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Operational Requirements:
The SATCOM terminal system must facilitate the following:
· Rapid Setup/Teardown: Streamlined deployment and pack-up procedures in field environments.
· Power Source Connection: Integration 120/240 VAC, 50-60Hz power sources.
· Satellite Acquisition: Operational peak/poll/acquire functionality across all supported bands and satellites.
· Interface Connectivity: Secure and interface connections and wiring.
· Modem Configuration: Modem configuration operations.
· Feed Horn Swapping: Simple and quick replacement/swapping of feed horns as needed.
· Monitoring & Control: Effective and comprehensive system monitoring and control through the provided laptop interface.
Deliverables:
· Comprehensive system documentation, including any user manuals, training materials (eLearning, Instructor-led training procedures, interactive guides, guided video-based, On-The-Job training), and maintenance action guides.
· On-site system installation and integration.
· Operator training program (Train-the trainer) for 12 instructors and maintenance staff for effective system sustainment and operation
