Summary

[Analyzed from API Fallback] The Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry feedback for the Tracking Layer Tranche 4 of its Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). The agency seeks information on enhancing its baseline Resilient MWTD (Missile Warning/Tracking/Defense) mission payloads and architecture to improve the detection and tracking of challenging targets across their full flight trajectories. This feedback will inform the scope of future on-orbit demonstrations, rapid prototyping, and the formal Tranche 4 solicitation, which will include production contracts and partnership opportunities. The full RFI documents contain Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and a classified addendum, which must be requested from the SDA.
