Oversight   4

Background
The solicitation is for the Oversight program, which aims to provide constant custody at scale from space through management of available resources to support both peacetime and wartime monitoring of high-value targets in contested environments. The program will consist of a multi-phase developmental cycle with each phase building upon the maturation of the previous phase. The final output of the Oversight program will be an LVC demonstration of the developed software services running on a subset of live satellites and augmented in simulation.

Work Details
The work involves designing, developing, and demonstrating an integrated suite of Oversight software services to enable constant custody at scale from space. This includes developing architectures to enable constant custody at scale from space, exploring holistic software technology solutions relevant to the Oversight vision in resource management, task allocation, data management, and dissemination. The proposers are expected to demonstrate Phase 1 performance objectives and readiness to proceed into Phase 2 of the program via technology maturation and risk reduction activities.

Period of Performance
The solicitation is for Phase 1 (Phase 1 Base and Phase 1 Option), which has two tracks. Track A has a 15-month Phase 1 Base period culminating in Spiral 1 Design Review and a 3-month Phase 1 Option period culminating in a Delta-Spiral 1 Option Design Report. Track B has a single-phase effort not to exceed 15 months. Phase 2 Base is anticipated to be 12 months long, while the Phase 2 Option is anticipated to be 18 months long.
