The Advanced MILSATCOM Architecture Review Introduction: The MILSATCOM Joint Program Office announces the Advanced MILSATCOM Architecture Review. The seminar, scheduled for 21-22 June 1995, at Aerospace Corporation, El Segundo, CA is intended to brief industry on the results of the recent DOD Architecture study and to gain feedback from industry. This information will be used in further development of the MILSATCOM Architecture Plan. Industry feedback should focus on option feasibility and remaining trade studies. Concept: The objective of the MILSATCOM Architecture Study is to define the next generation of military communications satellites. The information presented at this seminar will directly support the MILSATCOM Architecture Study. The seminar will also provide a unique opportunity for the MILSATCOM community, both Industry and Government, to discuss advanced concepts for future systems and ongoing efforts to achieve these goals. The Government is actively seeking information for the Architecture Plan. Technical information sought includes, but is not limited to, various communication concepts and designs, modular on-board architectures, network control architectures and terminal interface issues. Technology development and trends with associated risks and the ROM cost breakdown by major subsystems should be included in the information provided. Seminar: The seminar will be held 21-22 June 1995 at Aerospace Corporation, 2350 E. El Segundo Blvd, El Segundo, CA, Building A-8, starting at 8:00 AM. The first part of the seminar on the 21st will be a briefing on the results of Phase 2 of the Architecture Study. Emphasis will be placed on the Architecture option downselect discriminators and proposed schedules. On the 22nd, contractors will be invited to provide feedback to the previous day's presentation. A Government-only audience may be requested. Information provided to the Government may be in any format (please be concise), and may be proprietary if required. A formal request for information will also be presented at the seminar. The representatives of prospective sources will be invited to either brief their concepts on 25-26 July or provide written response to Joseph P. Schleifer at 2420 Vela Way, Suite 1467-A8, Los Angeles AFB, CA 90245-4659 by 28 July 95. Responders are cautioned that only contracting officers are legally authorized to commit the Government.

Responders are advised that no contract will be awarded solely on the basis of a response hereto or any follow-up information subsequently submitted. The Government is not planning to contract for any particular effort at this time, rather, this information will be used to develop future technology plans and pursue future technology projects.
