About this file
This document is a set of Questions and Answers related to a Request for Information (RFI) for Aerial Targets Branch (EBAY) Targets Control System (TCS) Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Command & Control (C2) Capabilities. The RFI seeks to understand market availability and maturity of potential solutions for proliferated low earth orbit (P-LEO) SATCOM capabilities to work with the existing Aerial Targets and C2 system. The primary focus is on capabilities such as latency, coverage, availability, throughput, and minimal impacts to target integration, with interest in comparing vendor solutions for both LEO and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) SATCOM. The objective is to modernize the TCS and reduce reliance on range infrastructure to support advancing DoD weapon systems requirements. This RFI is in preparation for a projected draft RFP to be issued in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Aerial Targets Branch (EBAY) at Eglin Air Force Base.

Description: Request for Information (RFI) for Aerial Targets Branch (EBAY) Targets Control
System (TCS) Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Command & Control (C2) Capabilities
Question and Answers:
1.) Q: In the description paragraph, it states AFLCMC/EBAY is seeking potential solutions for proliferated LEO (Low-Earth Orbit). Are you also interested in responses focused on
SATCOM in Highly Elliptical and/or Medium Earth Orbits (HEO/MEO)?
A: Our primary focus is on latency, coverage, availability, throughput, and minimal impacts to target integration. We believe Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is the best solution to address our minimum capability needs however, we will not rule out Medium Earth Orbits (MEO) without proper data. Therefore, we are interested in comparing the vendors HEO/MEO capabilities against other submissions.
