Knowledge-Guided Test and Evaluation Frameworks for proliferated Low Earth Orbit Constellations
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The United States Space Force, through the Space Development Agency (SDA), is seeking innovative solutions for a knowledge-guided test and evaluation framework to support the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), a dynamic constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The objective is to develop a modern test framework that continuously updates system performance using real-time data, quantifies knowledge gain relative to resource costs, and dynamically re-plans test sequences to prioritize high-utility activities, leveraging probabilistic reasoning such as Bayesian inference. This effort is critical for ensuring effective and agile test planning in alignment with SDA's rapid acquisition model, with the Direct-to-Phase II proposal due by April 1, 2026. Interested parties can find more information and submit proposals through the official solicitation link provided by the Department of Defense.
