two.1.4) Short description
DE&S (the Authority), under the Rapid Agile Prototyping, Scaled for Operations (RAPSO) Framework, intends to issue an Invitation To Tender “Lite” (ITT Lite) on behalf of Air Command (the Customer) to support the task objectives described in the Aim (below) and award zero (0), one (1) or more (with the intent being to take through two (2)) suppliers through to initial framework tasking under Lot 1). The intent for future BEROE work is to be placed under Lot 1 and/or the Operational Lot 2 subject to Authority approvals.
Aim: The UK MoD requires a secure Ground Segment software solution for tasking, monitoring and controlling a space-based ISR constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites(s), which will form an integral component of the UK MoD ground segment architecture, acting as the primary mission control system for the Customer Satellite Operations Centre. The UK MoD is therefore seeking a provider to develop a technology roadmap, secure software development plan and assist (through demonstration & prototype development) with the maturation of system requirements and the development of a software architecture that will deliver an assured Mission Control System for space-based ISR command & control (C2) which is scalable to meet future operational needs, and enable interoperability with UK MoD owned space assets.

The UK MoD requires a secure Ground Segment software solution for tasking, monitoring and controlling a space-based ISR constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites(s), which will form an integral component of the UK MoD ground segment architecture, acting as the primary mission control system for the Customer Satellite Operations Centre. The UK MoD is therefore seeking a provider to develop a technology roadmap, secure software development plan and assist (through demonstration & prototype development) with the maturation of system requirements and the development of a software architecture that will deliver an assured Mission Control System for space-based ISR command & control (C2) which is scalable to meet future operational needs, and enable interoperability with UK MoD owned space assets.
The project, named BEROE, during the competition and development phases (refer to tender process stage 1-4), will focus on maturing, deriving and identifying UK MoD requirements, testing hypotheses, addressing key challenges and stimulating industry to develop product roadmaps to support future operational systems targeted for non-civilian use.
Bidders will be requested to describe their ground segment software solution in terms of overall design, architecture and interfaces that enable the integration of protocols, operating procedures, development of user interfaces and compatibility with open standards.
