A multi-service Integrated Product Team (IPT) is conducting a market survey of the capability for Global Broadcast Service (GBS) injection and receive terminals based on commericial off-the-shelf technology (COTS). It is envisioned that a two phase terminal development segment will be required to meet all GBS program objectives. The first phase will require terminals to support ground based satellite segment testing projected for mid CY1997 and on-orbit testing in early CY1988. The first phase satellite segment will consist of a Ka band satellite package. The IPT will provide a summary of projected capabilities required for fixed injection terminals, mobile injection terminals, transportable receive terminals, shipborne receive terminals, and airborne receive terminals on the CECOM electronic bulletin board (EBB) by 6 March 1996. The IPT will host Industry one-on-one sessions during the period 20-21 March 1996 to give industry an opportunity to join the IPT and help the Government become a smarter buyer. The sessions will have limited Government/Industry attendees and will be a maximum of 1.5 hours each.
