Description
The United States Space Force is seeking information on access to bandwidth carried by a commercially owned and operated UHF-capable on-orbit MEO satellite. The proposed capability would support an experimental campaign to characterize MEO UHF spectrum, waveform, and user-equipment operation; demonstrate interoperability with the existing GEO constellation; and inform a pathway to augment or replace GEO UHF capability. Solutions should prioritize existing space vehicles, payloads, and communications links to provide service immediately or as soon as possible. An initial launch capability by 2030 may be useful, but earlier on-orbit capability is strongly desired. The Government notes that the prototype may be an initial exploratory step rather than a fully representative future architecture.
