Our Point Break solicitation is now live. The United States Department of War currently relies on Radio Frequency (RF) communications that are easily susceptible to degradation and disruption from low-cost proliferated jamming threats. Laser communication (lasercom) technology offers high data rate, low probability of intercept, and detection communications that are critical in contested air and space domains. "Point Break and RAZORBAC mark a shift toward modular, low-cost laser communications. Partnering with DIU lets us prototype low-SWaP technologies at mission speed, strengthening the United States Space Force Space Data Network and the joint force it connects.” says Colonel Gary Goff, SYD 89 System Program Director at Space Systems Command. DIU is soliciting solutions for multi-waveform lasercom optical communications terminals. Solutions due by May 17 at 23:59:59 Eastern Time. Learn more and apply here: https://lnkd.in/eHKmxmSA
