Description
The Space Development Agency (SDA) issued a request for proposal (RFP) for the Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure (AFCGI) acquisition.
- The Space Development Agency (SDA) issued this Request for Proposal (RFP) for the services of a ground segment infrastructure provider for SDA’s Advanced Fire Control (AFC) program. The AFC program will deliver integrated space and ground elements to demonstrate advanced fire control missions. AFC executes operationally relevant prototypes to demonstrate proof of scalability, show military utility, and provide a pathfinder for future proliferation of AFC capabilities.
- The AFC ground segment acquisition, referred to as AFCGI, is a component of the broader AFC program. The objective of AFCGI is to provide common ground infrastructure and resources to minimize cost and complexity for multiple AFC prototype programs. The efforts of the AFCGI acquisition will be central to the successful execution of the Fire-control On Orbit-support to the warfighter (FOO Fighter or F2) prototype system (launching in Q1FY27) and follow-on fire control demonstration programs.
- The AFCGI Contractor will:
- Deliver and manage ground segment resources, including but not limited to ground entry points (GEPs) and terrestrial network connections,
- Fit-out and manage a government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) facility called the Demonstration Operations Center (DOC),
- Manage a government-procured, contractor-operated cloud environment to provide cloud services, including but not limited to hosting space vehicle mission operations center software, data archiving, enabling remote access to data during on-orbit demonstrations, enabling data processing and analysis, hosting mission partner software, and interfacing with mission partner systems; and,
- Provide program management, systems engineering, integration, verification, and operations and maintenance of the AFC ground infrastructure.
