U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command / Army Forces Strategic Command—Focus On Response Launch Capabilities With Industry Day (Event)


[SatNews] On June 13, 2014, the Technical Center of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, will present an Industry Day for Low Cost Responsive Launch Capability.

This event will be held at the Digital Theater in the Saturn V Hall, U.S. Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, Alabama, from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., CDT. The purpose of the Industry Day will be for the U.S. Army to provide an overview of its plans for the solicitation for a low cost responsive launch capability and to answer questions from industry related to these plans. The Industry Day will also afford an opportunity for industry interaction related to this topic. A separate special announcement may be issued via FEDBIZOPPS detailing any additional required information.

The USASMDC/ARSTRAT is partnered with other Department of Defense (DoD) organizations on a Joint Capability Technology Demonstration to develop technologies that will lead to a responsive, low cost, tactical launch capability for the military. USASMDC/ARSTRAT is contemplating soliciting one or more venders to design, develop, integrate, conduct ground testing, and execute at least one orbital flight demonstration of a low cost, responsive, tactical space launch vehicle.  More information about this initiative can be accessed by reviewing the Request for Information posting on FEDBIZOPPS at at this infopage.
