- Description
- RFI - Open Architectures for Space Avionics REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicles Directorate Spacecraft Avionics Open Architectures Dated: 22 OCT 2014 THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY as defined in FAR 15.201(e). This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This RFI is not a request for proposals; therefore, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. GENERAL INTENT Current Air Force operational systems, both Space and Avionic platforms, are custom designed for specific implementations with minimal consideration given to interoperability and compatibility to other potential applications or technology refresh methods. This acquisition strategy increases the over-all life-cycle program cost, complexity, hastens technology obsolescence, and restricts operational flexibility to the end user. The adoption and implementation of Open Systems Architectures, Open Standards, and their associated philosophies will allow for considerable reduction in size, weight, and power (SWaP), program life-cycle cost, with a concurrent increase in re-configurability, and potential re-use of hardware, firmware, and software. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Space Vehicle Directorate (RV) would like to investigate and advance the creation of more effective and efficient Air Force Space and Avionic platforms through successful development of an over-arching Open Systems Architecture strategy, and the implementation of Open Standards for use across multiple Air Force platforms to maximize platform and system affordability, re-configurability, performance, and re-use.
