Resilient Military Communications (MilCom) – Enhancing MILSATCOM Resilience through Virtualization, Ground Architecture, Situational Awareness, and Data Management

The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to enhance the resilience of military satellite communications (MILSATCOM). The objective is to develop advanced, deployable technologies that improve the resilience, flexibility, and efficiency of MILSATCOM networks in contested environments, addressing challenges posed by electronic warfare and cyber threats. This initiative is critical for maintaining uninterrupted operational effectiveness and ensuring secure communications across military operations. Interested parties must submit their proposals by June 25, 2025, with a focus on one or more of the four key areas: Network Virtualization, Resilient Ground Architecture, Situational Awareness, and Resilient Data Management, as outlined in the solicitation.
