## Description

This is a new Area of Interest (AOI) 26-A012 under the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic Rapid Capabilities Cell Commercial Solutions Opening N6523626S0001.  NIWC Atlantic seeks to prototype a rapidly deployable, integrated, and scalable solution capable of receiving and demodulating polar orbiting satellite data in remote Antarctica. Existing legacy antenna systems require modernization to support connection with newer satellites and modern standards. Currently, safety-of-flight planning and aviation route forecasting require solutions that can operate efficiently within severe bandwidth constraints, support remote system maintenance protocols, and utilize open-standard software to facilitate scientific and meteorological collaboration. NIWC Atlantic requires field-tested, robust antennas that can be linked to promote extreme efficiency in scheduling and prioritizing satellite passes under a compressed timeline to meet vital mission-critical operational requirements.
