State of ORS Today
•
ORS end-state architecture being developed based on overarching
guidance (QDR, NSP, DPPG, ORS CONOPS, etc.)
•
TacSat-3 operational on orbit, providing evidence of military utility of a
low-cost hyperspectral sensor, and ability of small satellites to enable
rapid technology refresh.
•
ORS-1 on track for FY11 launch to provide proof of lower-cost,
shorter-timeline business model and evidence of tactical utility.
•
TacSat-4 on track for FY11 launch; will demonstrate UHF comms
and FFT mission capabilities.
•
RRSW contract awarded. MSV contract in source selection.
•
ORS Office PC/FM support contract awarded, SETA contract in
source selection.

ORS Omnibus BAA
•
•
•
•
Acquisition plan currently being developed.
Anticipate multiple calls/proposals over 5 years.
Allows for multiple needs to be filled as they arise and funding available.
Enables responsive procurement actions when funding is available and
specific needs are identified.
•
Potential Broad Topic Area #1: Employ (ORS Tier-1 Focus)
– Use existing assets to meet warfighter needs within minutes to hours
– For example, use of current commercial and international satellites
•
Potential Broad Topic Area #2: Develop (ORS Tier-3 Focus)
– Rapidly develop technologies and transition to the warfighter within months
– Launch, range, spacecraft, payloads, ground systems, etc.
•
Anticipate release in FY11. Once announced, will encourage open discussion
with industry and submission of white papers on broad topics and/or specific
needs.

SBIR Program
• We expect 2-3 directly controlled SBIR topics per
year in FY11 and beyond.
• In the 9.3 SBIR cycle we had 3 topics and made 10
Phase I awards. Phase II awards are not yet
finalized.
• Also, the ORS Office will likely have influence on
some AFRL SBIR topics. In the 9.3 SBIR cycle,
AFRL/RV awarded 12 Phase I SBIR contracts of
relevance to ORS.
