Section 2: Technical Description (5 pages)

Include past experience, key personnel, relevant facilities / equipment, and technology readiness level (TRL) of the concept. The technical description should address the offeror’s proposed contribution to the 10 questions listed below:

• What payload and associated infrastructure concepts are being proposed to enable low latency persistent global ISR, navigation, and / or communications to enable this military mission and reduce the kill chain timeline?

• What supporting infrastructures and orbital geometries are necessary to support payload concepts?

• What are payload or supporting infrastructure strategies for enhanced resilience against current and emerging threats?

• What investments are required for enabling technologies to meet mission goals?

• What costs (including those shared by the offeror) and schedules would be associated with the proposed concepts and what are implementation alternatives?

• What are the opportunities to leverage rapidly emerging commercial technologies and efficiencies?

• What near term demonstrations of the feasibility of these concepts are possible, both through system engineering models and early hardware flights?

• What additional development would be necessary to establish an operational capability based on proposed concept?

• What experience do you have in developing or delivering the concepts in your proposal?

• Does the concept rely upon or leverage either a delivered capability or ongoing development activity? If so, please share the name of the project, the sponsor to include the government of industry partners involved in the effort.
