The government authority in Maryland is seeking vendors to provide a geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) high-throughput, low-latency antenna system. The required system should support software-enabled reprogramming of the waveform, enabling access to a variety of satellites and gateway entry points for increased resiliency and network flexibility.

The antenna solution must prioritize NGC2 applications and data by leveraging Quality of Service (QoS) to ensure critical communications are directed over low-latency transports. The system should also allow for future technology upgrades as new satellites and related systems become available.

Additional requirements include anti-jam capabilities through integrated software and hardware protections to secure critical communication links. The solution should minimize the training burden for users and allow rapid network access for warfighters. Partnerships with both commercial and military gateways and network operations centers are encouraged to ensure operational flexibility across various regions.
