Request for Information: Multi-Source PNT UE
The Space Force has issued a market-research RFI seeking industry input on Multi-Source PNT user equipment for the NAVWAR Objective Force, covering terrestrial military platforms, disadvantaged/high-value users, and space service volume small and large satellite users. The RFI emphasizes modular open system architectures, onboard fusion of M-code/CA/commercial and other PNT sources, and technical details to support SWAC force-design analysis. Respondents must describe security, cybersecurity, and supply-chain posture, including facility/personnel clearances, COMSEC, CUI/CDI safeguarding under NIST SP 800-171/SPRS/CMMC Level 2+, NDAA Section 889 compliance, SCRM, and IP/data rights. Unclassified responses are page-limited to 15 single-sided pages and submitted via DoD Safe, classified submissions are accepted with coordination, foreign firms may participate only as subcontractors, and PNT modernization signals are projected to be available by 2035. This RFI is solely for planning and market research, does not commit the government to contract or pay respondent costs, and may inform future mechanisms such as AFRL STAR, SSC SpEC OTA, or reverse industry days.
