On October 29, the U.S. Army posted a solicitation for Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Capability Program Executive Command and Control Information Network (CPE C2IN) Commercial Solution Opening (CSO) Call for Solutions (CfS) for Product Manager Wideband Enterprise Satellite Systems (PdM WESS). Responses are due by 12:00 p.m. Eastern on December 10.
PdM WESS is seeking solutions for a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) system to satisfy the requirements for Increment 1 of this modernization effort. 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.
Current Department of War (DoW) SATCOM ground infrastructure relies heavily on legacy L-Band 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 DoW seeks a commercial solution for an Increment 1 Digital IF capability set built on a flexible, open standard (e.g., Digital Intermediate Frequency Interoperability compliant), modular architecture. The selected solution will undergo standard site acceptance testing and operational verification to confirm compliance with contract performance requirements and site compatibility. Upon successful acceptance, this operational configuration will serve as the standardized baseline for deployment and installation across up to twenty (20) worldwide SATCOM teleport sites.
Successful validation and deployment of this flexible open-standard Digital IF architecture will directly enhance warfighter lethality and survivability by delivering a highly resilient, agile, and survivable GEO-SATCOM capability which rapidly adapts to contested/congested environments.
