- Description
- Request for Information (RFI) Space Threat Assessment Testbed (STAT) AMENDMENT 02 This is an amendment to a request for information and not a solicitation. At the 30-31 January 2007 Space Threat Assessment Testbed (STAT) Working Group in Colorado Springs, a question was raised concerning the strategy of the STAT program office and whether a competitive source selection was intended. A firm strategy had not been determined at that point. The Government has now decided to pursue a competitive source selection for the STAT development. Detailed information on the particular strategy and schedule of events will be made available in Federal Business Opportunities as the strategy matures. The STAT team will continue to perform market research by hosting working group meetings with industry and Government personnel to hone in on the system requirements until the solicitation is released (expected date of release of the Draft Request for Proposal is three to six months). We look forward to exchanging ideas with our industry partners and using their expertise to bring this critical capability into operation. Please direct any questions to Ms. Kathy Swanson, Contracting Officer, AEDC/PKM (see contact information below). FYI. The STAT will be a testbed facility that will be used to test space system survivability against natural, environmental, and man-made effects. STAT will provide connectivity to a satellite control center (SOC) for systems under test in order to train space operators to recognize threats and aid in the development of tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to mitigate the effects of those threats. STAT is envisioned to include space chambers with realistic natural space environmental conditions, as well as integrated representative threat sources. STAT Spiral 1 will develop the technology to integrate and control the various environmental sources and build a capability to test sub-system size components and microsats. POINT OF CONTACT INFORMATION: PCO: AEDC/PKM Attn: Kathy P. Swanson 100 Kindel Drive, Suite A337 Arnold AFB TN 37389-1337 Phone: (931) 454-4409 Kathy.swanson@arnold.af.mil Note: The information received will not obligate the Government in any manner nor will the Government reimburse contractors for any costs associated with this submittal of the request for information. This RFI does not constitute an Invitation for Bid or a Request for Proposal nor should it be considered as a commitment on the part of the Government.
