Official Description

U.S. Naval platforms defended by the Ship Self-Defense System (SSDS) combat management system (CMS) routinely traverse hostile regions of the world threatened by modern anti-ship weapons. SSDS CMS data recorded at sea are transmitted from embarked platforms back to various ashore support organizations for system performance analysis. Results are used in a variety of ways, which include but are not limited to improving CMS functionality, updating tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and en...

Q&A UpdatedJul 6, 2026 at 9:01 PM

High-Throughput Embarked Data Transfer

Q2 received a new answer clarifying that the system need not be fully standalone—proposed solutions may integrate with existing DoW PoR architectures, provided assumptions are documented.

Q&A UpdatedJul 2, 2026 at 7:01 PM

High-Throughput Embarked Data Transfer

**Q&A Update Summary:** Added answer to Q1 clarifying that no additional reference documents beyond those listed in the solicitation will be provided; applicants should consult existing references (e.g., Bath, W. G. "Overview of Platforms and Combat Systems," Johns Hopkins APL Technical Digest, Vol. 35, No. 2, 2020) or conduct independent research on DoW PoR communication architecture.

Q&A UpdatedJun 29, 2026 at 5:01 PM

High-Throughput Embarked Data Transfer

Added 1 new Q&A (Q1) requesting unclassified references for DoD PoR communications architecture. Q2 and previous Q2 are identical. Previous Q2 answer now labeled as Q3 answer with no content changes.

Q&A UpdatedJun 18, 2026 at 2:01 PM

High-Throughput Embarked Data Transfer

Added Q1 asking whether the system must be fully standalone with its own antennas, optical apertures, and power source. A1 was not provided in the update.

Q&A UpdatedJun 15, 2026 at 4:01 PM

High-Throughput Embarked Data Transfer

Q1 received an answer clarifying that the 5,000nm distance requirement is flexible regarding modality (space or shore), must integrate with DoD PoR architectures, resist atmospheric effects, and explicitly excludes lossless transmission solutions without intermediate link nodes.

Q&A UpdatedJun 5, 2026 at 3:02 PM

High-Throughput Embarked Data Transfer

This Q&A clarifies the technical scope of a solicitation by asking whether the required data transmission capability involves ship-to-satellite optical communication or ship-to-shore transmission over a 5000nm distance.
