b. Launch base infrastructure (e.g., land for construction, roads, bridges, utilities, etc.)

Click or tap here to enter text.

c. ER and/or WR support (e.g., command, tracking, weather, area surveillance, etc.)

Click or tap here to enter text.

2. Please describe your ability to apply your own resources to meet your program needs (e.g. shared investment or ability to contract for improvements)

3. Which Space Force space launch infrastructure assets and resources are most desired by your program? Please rank order the following elements of support for your program (including both launch base infrastructure assets and range support services). You may list multiple elements as #1 to the extent they are MANDATORY (i.e., without alternatives) for your program. If your program does not need the government asset or service at all, please mark it N/A.

_______ Radar

4. Please list any of the above elements that you find to be so constrained that they affect your program.
