The Air Force is conducting market research for a high-bandwidth, network-agnostic Ku/Ka-Band SATCOM system and associated GPS hatches for C-130 / L-382 aircraft, installed via a Roll-on/Roll-off hatch replacement to avoid downtime. The system must use software-defined radios (no commercial modems), support DAF Battle Network integration, and have or be in process for Department of War certified airworthiness. Vendors should have delivered TRL 9 prototypes and be ready to produce small quantities, with units delivered within the next year. No performance location or budget amounts are specified in the notice.
