Description

This solicitation seeks innovative solutions for Space Power Beaming (SPB) technology to enable power production, generation, and delivery for on-orbit and terrestrial assets. The goal is to develop a near-term, Low Earth Orbit (LEO)-based prototype and demonstration to evaluate military utility, with multiple lines of effort including space-to-space and space-to-terrestrial power beaming, power beaming receivers, and next-generation power beaming components. Vendors may submit solutions addressing one or more lines of effort and are encouraged to form teaming arrangements. The effort aims for rapid fielding, energy delivery measurement, minimal latency, interoperability, and scalability, with prototypes leading to operational capability by fiscal year 2030.
