TELCOM-2843 - USA (Washington, DC) - Intra Satellite Communications Service - Deadline July 22,2026

– Vendor needs to provide intra satellite communications service to the government authority located in Washington, DC. – Develop a hardware capability that communicates rapidly between any commercial satellites to reduce latency of data transmission to track open ocean targets.– Solution to be installed on government satellites that enables Inter–Satellite Communication (ISC) within commercial satellite constellations. No existing commercial capability can accomplish this requirement.– Capability will allow satellites to directly share tracking data and other information and significantly improve the tracking of open ocean targets.– Use Seamless Target Handoff to enable real–time communication between satellites, allowing for seamless tracking of objects as they move across the coverage areas of different satellites, eliminating the need for ground station intervention.– Use enhanced tracking accuracy and persistence to direct communication between satellites.– Enable faster and more accurate correlation of target data from multiple viewpoints compared to the current time it takes to establish these same parameters.– Improve tracking accuracy, particularly for maneuvering targets.– Enable satellites to quickly share information about new targets or changes in target behaviour, enhancing overall situational awareness.– Allow direct communication between satellites to reduce the time currently required to transmit critical tracking data to decision–makers.– Provide for assessing the coverage area of interest (AOI) footprint within the satellite pass.– Provide a determination of the ability of the network to maintain continuous tracking of targets moving across large areas.– Capable of simultaneously tracking multiple targets in accordance with the commander’s intent, including targets with varying speeds and trajectories.
