The current legacy analog infrastructure limits scalability, resilience, and interoperability. Under this Call for Solutions, the selected vendor will deliver, integrate, install, and acceptance-test a flexible, open-standard, modular Digital IF solution across up to twenty (20) worldwide satellite communications (SATCOM) teleport sites. Increment 1 will establish a fully operational baseline designed to support subsequent capability upgrades and integrations in future fiscal years. SECTION 2 � REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION PROBLEM STATEMENT Area of Interest: Modular Digital Intermediate Frequency Solutions for Next-Generation SATCOM Teleports Background & Operational Context Current Department of War (DoW) satellite communications (SATCOM) ground infrastructure relies heavily on legacy L-Band Intermediate Frequency (IF) distribution systems. These analog-hardware-bound architectures limit flexibility, inhibit rapid tech insertion, and create single points of failure across global teleport infrastructures. To counter emerging near-peer threats in dynamic operational environments, the warfighter requires highly resilient, agile, and rapidly scalable SATCOM. The Problem The legacy L-Band architecture fails to offer the ability to dynamically route or transport Radio Frequency (RF) signals over DoW Internet Protocol (IP) networks. This lack of flexibility inhibits the resilience of geostationary earth orbit (GEO) SATCOM operations. To transition …
