RFI - Radio Frequency (RF) Subsystems

Background
The United States Space Force (USSF) is researching industry's ability to support various satellite communication (SATCOM) dependent missions by rapidly producing a variety of different Radio Frequency (RF) subsystems that operate over a wide range of frequency bands. The RF subsystem consists of the following: RF antenna, RF conditioning and isolation, high power amplification, control and monitoring, and RF distribution subsystem. The goal is to acquire an initial baseline capability that could lead to continued procurement in order to fulfill the full force design projections.

Work Details
The main objective of the RF subsystem is to be able to conduct both Electromagnetic Support (ES) and Electromagnetic Attack (EA) functions. It is not envisioned that one RF subsystem will be able address all frequency bands and it will require multiple RF subsystems to address all different frequency bands. The RF subsystem should require the following to accomplish the mission described above: Antennas supporting tracking satellites with an angular velocity of up to the maximum slew rate required to track a LEO satellite at 500 km altitude, support for L, S, C, X, Ku, & Ka frequency bands, receiving and transmitting in both linear and circular polarization, peak on a satellite of interest within two minutes of receiving a command to point, transportable via commercial or Government means, operable in air temperatures ranging from -20F to 120F without solar loading, relative humidity from 0-98%, and in winds with gusts up to 45mph.
Additionally, it should follow MIL-STD-1250A for corrosion, set-up and teardown should take 12 hours or less with a crew of three trained personnel with minimal support equipment and basic tooling, fit within a footprint no larger than 15ft x 15ft, interface with a third-party system for command and control as well as health and status reporting without proprietary interface.
