Scope of work

Language of the publication

The Swiss Armed Forces are integrating operational space capabilities into their overarching multi-domain system, adopting a technology-neutral and partnership-based approach that is primarily guided by civil-military frameworks. This also includes the development of capabilities in the field of Space Situational Awareness (SSA).

The purpose of the Request for Information (RFI) is to gauge industry interest and to survey the market for potential providers of SSA solutions.

Based on the insights subsequently gained, the requirements for possible formal Requests for Proposal (RFP) will be derived.
