PWSA Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL) Alpha Draft Program Solicitation

The Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing this DRAFT solicitation to establish the foundation for Tranche 2 (T2) of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). The PWSA’s operational utility is predicated on the availability of a ubiquitous data and communications Transport Layer provided by a proliferated constellation of relatively small, mass-producible space vehicles (SVs) in low Earth orbit (LEO). The Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL) SVs will be similar to those currently under development for the Tranche 1 Transport Layer (T1TL) and Tranche 1 Development and Experimentation System (T1DES), with targeted technology enhancements, mission-focused payload configurations, increased integration, and greater production efficiencies. T2TL will provide global communications access and deliver persistent regional encrypted connectivity in support of Warfighter missions around the globe.  To receive the additional Draft Program Solicitation Attachments please send an email to osd.pentagon.ousd-r-e.mbx.sda-sn-23-0010@mail.mil with the subject line “SDA Draft T2TL-Alpha Solicitation Content Request.”  Please include your organization’s CAGE code and location in your request. Requests received from organizations that do not possess a facility clearance of at least Secret will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
