About this opportunity
The Missile Defense Agency's Ground Sensors Directorate (MDA/SN) is conducting market research to identify industry capabilities to meet follow-on requirements for the Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX) system. The SBX is a critical midcourse sensor for the Missile Defense System, providing advanced radar capabilities to track and discriminate ballistic missile characteristics. MDA is seeking information on X-band radar software engineering support, software development, and systems engineering for the SBX platform. Key requirements include maintenance of fielded software, development of new capabilities, open architecture integration, systems engineering, and support for radar integration and testing. Responses to the Request for Information (RFI) are due by October 11, 2024 and will be reviewed by MDA and third-party subject matter experts.
This opportunity is not set aside for any socioeconomic program. No incumbents or current contractors are mentioned. The RFI does not provide any details on potential award values or budget ranges. Additionally, the RFI does not specify the quantity of goods or timeline for services being sought.
Notice text
The Missile Defense Agency’s Ground Sensors directorate (MDA/SN) is conducting market research to determine industry interest and capability to meet follow-on requirements for Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX) capability and software development.
The SBX is an advanced X-band Radar mounted on a mobile, ocean-going, semi-submersible platform and is the principle midcourse sensor for the Missile Defense System. The radar acquires, tracks, and discriminates flight characteristics of ballistic missiles, providing precision discrimination and hit assessment. The SBX provides an advanced radar capability to the Missile Defense System, increasing MDA’s ability to support Combatant Commands and defensive operations and to conduct advanced missile defense testing. When combined with other radars, overlapping sensor coverage expands the Missile Defense System battle space and complicates an adversary’s ability to penetrate the Missile Defense System.
