About this file
This document is a Comment Resolution Matrix for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Space and Missile Systems Center (SSC) regarding a Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Geosynchronous Wide Field of View (WFOV) Electro-Optical (EO) Sensor. The RFI seeks to survey industry capabilities for space-based optical sensors with specific technical requirements, including detecting resident space objects at 14.5 to 16+ visual magnitude, searching a 40-degree right ascension by +/- 15-degree declination solid angle within 30 minutes from an ESPA-class bus, and operating at a 60-degree solar exclusion angle.
The government is particularly interested in sensors with recent (5-year) demonstrated success, low to moderate cost, and rapid 2-year build cycles. Key clarifications in the Comment Resolution Matrix include confirmation of a 10-degree WFOV, interest in V-Mag sensitivity ranging from 14.5 to 16+, page limit guidelines for classified and unclassified submissions, and specification of a preferred GEO orbit using standard ESPA-class buses. The RFI encourages small business responses and aims to assess industry capabilities for high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) space surveillance sensor technologies.

| Date | Document | Page/Tab | Section | Question | Gov't Response | |
| 19-Dec-25 | RFI SDA WFOV | General | General | Can SSC confirm that a 10-degree WFOV meets the intended requirement for the GEO surveillance mission, or do they expect respondents to propose any alternative FOV configurations? | SSC is interested in current industry capability for a WFOV sensor. If industry has current capability for a 10-degree WFOV sensor, or something else, SSC is interested. | |
| 19-Dec-25 | RFI SDA WFOV | 2 | 2 | Should respondents baseline performance at V-Mag 14.5, or is the expectation that respondents must meet or exceed V-Mag 16+ sensitivity for this RFI? | ||
| Understanding whether 16+ is considered required or highly preferred will help accurately scope and present sensor capabilities. | SSC is interested in current industry capability for a WFOV sensor with V-Mag ranging from 14.5 to 16+. | |||||
| 30-Dec-25 | RFI SDA WFOV | 3 | 5 | The RFI indicates that any classified annex counts toward the five (5) page total. Would you please confirm whether a partially filled page within the classified appendix is counted as a partial page against the page limit, or whether page count is assessed strictly by the number of physical pages included? | For this RFI, both classified and unclassified partially filled pages will only count as a partial page, and page count is not going to be assessed by number of physical pages included. Please ensure the information does not break the page limits given in the RFI. | |
| 30-Dec-25 | RFI SDA WFOV | 3 | 5 | To ensure adherence to the page limitation, would the Government prefer that the unclassified response and any classified annex be submitted as a single, integrated response (with appropriate classification markings), or as separate unclassified and classified submittals? | Separate submissions - state within unclassified submissions that a classified appendix has been provided. | |
| 6-Jan-26 | RFI SDA WFOV | 2 | 2 | Could you confirm if there is a preferred orbit (e.g., LEO SSO, equatorial LEO, or GEO) and any specific bus agility or ESPA-class constraints you expect to use as a baseline? | Preferred orbit is GEO, looking at standard ESPA-class buses. |
