Satellite Optics

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gauge industry capabilities and interest in providing telescope solutions for small satellite survey optics. This is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a request for proposals; no awards will be made as a result of this RFI. NRL is seeking COTS, MCOTS, or MOTS telescopes with a focus on maximizing field of view, though custom designs with demonstrated space optics experience are also of interest. While complete sensor payload solutions are not desired, space flight heritage in a complete payload will be viewed favorably. Interested parties are requested to submit a Capabilities Statement (no more than five pages) including company information, past performance with relevant optics and space hardware, Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates for 1 and 4 units, and supporting technical details as outlined in the RFI (including aperture diameter, bandpass, image circle diameter, and mass requirements). Responses are due via email to Richard Waterstreet at Richard.Waterstreet@nrl.navy.mil and should be marked as corporate or proprietary if applicable; classified material is not permitted. A small business set-aside decision may be made based on responses received.
