Aerial Targets (EBAY) OV-1 Graphics.pdf

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Aerial Targets Branch (EBAY) regarding Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Command and Control (C2) capabilities for their Aerial Targets system. The objective is to understand the market availability and maturity of potential solutions for proliferated low earth orbit (P-LEO) capabilities that can work with the existing Aerial Targets and C2 system to meet future mission objectives. EBAY is requesting information about the capabilities of existing and planned P-LEO SATCOM systems with low latencies in preparation for a projected draft Request for Proposals (RFP) to be issued in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The Targets C2 System must support future (5th/6th generation) Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E) requirements and be range agnostic to control and track targets in multiple locations without large amounts of physical infrastructure. The goal is to modernize the TCS and reduce reliance on range infrastructure to support the rapidly advancing DoD weapon systems requirements.
