Sabre Program Solicitation (DRAFT)

The Space Development Agency (SDA) seeks input on its Draft Sabre program solicitation. SDA plans to solicit solutions for an experimental small space systems payload to deliver Space-Based Telemetry Monitoring, Electronic Support, and Alternative Navigation services. The Sabre experiments will be part of the NDSA Experimental Testbed (NExT) program, that evaluates prototype systems for proliferation in future tranches. This draft solicitation is for the development, manufacture, test, and launch integration of Sabre payloads, in addition to support of on-orbit evaluation and experiments.
