The Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing this DRAFT solicitation for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture's (PWSA) Tranche 2 (T2) Tracking Layer. The draft solicitation provides an opportunity for industry to review and offer feedback in advance of final solicitation posting. The T2 Tracking Layer will accelerate the capability to provide global, persistent indications, detection, warning, tracking, and identification of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems. The T2 Tracking Layer will also demonstrate a missile defense capability by incorporating fire control-quality sensors in the constellation. SDA plans to purchase and deploy approximately 54 - and potentially more - space vehicles (SV) with infrared (IR) sensors in six orbital planes using more than one vendor. SDA may also acquire additional satellites and sensor payloads under this OTA to inform requirements and constellation design. The first orbital plane of the T2 Tracking Layer constellation will be launched no later than April 30, 2027 with the launches of subsequent orbital planes expected to follow on one-month intervals.
