The Department of War and U.S. Air Force are seeking Phase II proposals for commercial solutions that address U.S. Space Force needs. - Government buyer: Department of War (DOW) and U.S. Air Force (USAF), on behalf of the U.S. Space Force (USSF). - Opportunity: STTR Phase II proposals for mature, non-defense commercial technologies that can be adapted to a specific USSF stakeholder need. - Proposal requirements: Explain the technology’s mission fit and the proposed adaptation; include documentation from a motivated, empowered technical point of contact willing to participate in a prototype trial. - Potential mission areas: Space Domain Awareness; Satellite Communications; Space Access, Mobility, and Logistics; Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking; space-based environmental monitoring; cyberspace operations; Command and Control; Positioning, Navigation, and Timing; and cross-mission Space Mission Enablers. - Other proposal scope: Applicants may propose a “BLUE SKY” capability and explain its strategic value. Proposals should identify relevant OUSW(R&E) Critical Technology Areas, Component Technology Areas, and USSF Commercial Space Strategy mission areas. - Named OEMs, vendors, products, quantities, and part numbers: None specified.

Description

This open STTR Phase II topic seeks non-defense commercial technologies or solutions that can be adapted to meet a specific Space Force stakeholder need. Proposals should demonstrate a likely product-mission fit and describe the adaptation of a mature commercial solution, supported by a motivated technical point of contact willing to participate in a prototype trial. The topic is industry-, technology-, and problem-area-agnostic, and identifies Space Force commercial mission areas while allowing proposals to use a “BLUE SKY” category. The listed due and close date is January 6, 2027.
