THE MILSATCOM SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM REVIEW POC Mr. Joseph Schleifer, Contracting Officer, (310) 336-4729; Lt. Scott Bechtloff, Technical POC, (310) 336-4645. The MILSATCOM Satellite Technology Program Review MILSATCOM Joint Program Office announces the MILSATCOM Satellite Technology Program Review. The seminar, scheduled for 15-16 November 1995, at Aerospace Corporation, El Segundo, CA has two purposes. The first purpose is to promote transfer of technical information between and among the Government and Industry by providing a common forum to discuss ongoing satellite technology activities and concepts for new activities. The second purpose is for the Government to obtain satellite technology development status from Industry. This information will be used in further development of the MILSATCOM Technology Plan. Industry and Government presentations and discussions should address payload (EHF, SHF, and UHF) and bus technologies feasible for implementation by 2000 or later. Concept: The objective of the MILSATCOM Technology Program is to reduce the life cycle cost of future MILSATCOM systems while meeting defense requirements. The seminar will focus on payload and bus advanced technology being developed by Government and Industry. (Terminal and satellite ground control issues will be addressed at the next technology seminar in April 1996. However, you are welcome to submit new projects in these areas.) The information presented at this seminar will directly support the MILSATCOM Technology Program and future development programs. 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. Seminar: The seminar will be held 15-16 November 1995 at Aerospace Corporation, 2350 El Segundo Blvd, El Segundo, CA, Building A-8, starting at 8:30 AM. The seminar will focus on technologies which are applicable to the payload and bus of future MILSATCOM systems. Presentations and discussions should address payload (EHF, SHF, and UHF) and bus technologies feasible for implementation by 2000 or later. Government presentations at the seminar will include MILSATCOM requirements and technology developments. At the seminar, Industry presenters are requested to provide a concise presentation of their project(s) or concept(s). A Government-only audience may be requested. Industry presenters are also requested to provide a one-page written summary (non-proprietary) in the format required by the Request-for-Information Package for use in the Program Plan. Written technology project background information, provided to the Government at the seminar, may be in any format (please be concise), and may be proprietary if required. Organizations who wish to suggest projects or otherwise contribute in the payload or bus areas, and need the Request-for-Information Package, should contact Lt Scott Bechtloff (see Administrative details) with your name, full address, and phone number as well as a request for a Government-only audience if desired. Responders are cautioned that only contracting officers are legally authorized to commit the Government. This request is for information only, not a request for proposals, and does not commit the Government to pay for preparation costs. 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. Administrative details: This seminar is open to citizens of the US and Canada only. To receive a Request-for-Information package or ask questions about the seminar, contact Lt Scott Bechtloff at telephone number (310) 336-4645 or e-mail BECHTLOF@MC.LAAFB.AF.MIL. The seminar will be unclassified. Presenters should contact Lt Scott Bechtloff not later than 20 October 95 with comments or proposed projects, estimated time required (please be brief), and audiovisual requirements. Presentations shall be delivered not later than 1 November 95 to facilitate publication of the conference minutes prior to the seminar. The mailing address is SMC/MCX, 2420 Vela Way, Suite 1467-A8, LAAFB, CA 90245-4659, ATTN: Lt Scott Bechtloff. Non-presenting attendees should contact Lt Scott Bechtloff not later than 8 November 95.
