The Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing this pre-solicitation notice for the Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure (AFCGI) program (previously called the PWSA Futures Program Ground Integration (PGI) program). The purpose of the SDA's AFC Program is to deliver integrated space and ground elements that will demonstrate advanced fire control missions. AFC executes operationally relevant prototypes in order to: demonstrate proof of scalability, show military utility, and provide a pathfinder for future proliferation of AFC capabilities. The AFCGI acquisition will provide a common, enduring ground infrastructure and resources to minimize cost and complexity for multiple AFC prototype programs. The efforts of the AFCGI contractor will be central to the successful execution of the Fire-control On Orbit-support-to-the-war Fighter (FOO Fighter or F2) prototype system (launching in Q1FY27) and follow-on F2-like demonstration programs.

The AFCGI Contractor will: 1) deliver and manage ground segment resources, including but not limited to Ground Entry Points and terrestrial communication networks; 2) fit-out and manage a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facility called the Demonstration Operations Center; 3) Manage a GOCO cloud environment to provide cloud services, including but not limited to hosting space vehicle mission operations center software, data archiving, enabling remote access to data during on-orbit demonstrations, enabling data processing and analysis, hosting mission partner software, and interfacing with mission partner systems; and 4) provide program management, systems engineering, integration; verification, and operations and maintenance of the AFC ground infrastructure.
