  1. TSAT Space SegmentProgram Structure • System Definition/Risk Reduction – 2 contractors • Competitive prototyping with independent Gov’t testing • Tech requirements and System Design Review • Preliminary integration w/ larger TSAT system • ~$500M/contractor • Development & Production – full and open competition • 5 satellites + spare through launch and activation • 2 ground elements • Integration into TSAT system • ~$10-20B over 10+ years

  3. 3 TSAT Space SegmentAcquisition Priorities • Two viable contractor teams that could perform • Mission assurance • Lowest risk approach to achieve threshold requirements • TRL-6 or better maturity on all key technologies • Flexibility going forward • Realism: Risk, Schedule, Cost

  4. 4 TSAT Space Segment Friction Points • Maintaining competitive fairness vs. making firm progress • Scope of RFP & proposals – drove scope of source selection • Point at which to break off source selection team from RRSD effort • Degree of rigor and openness in discussions • Ensuring business proposition remained sound amidst ‘DC churn’ and multiple budget cycles • Fee plan – increased objectivity, long-term hook to ensure mission assurance • OCI , Data Rights, IA (with international partners) Requirements • Requirements were unsettled with changing Military priorities • Several Changes to funding profile during RRSD execution and discussions • Maintaining resources in uncertain economic times with space programs in development trouble

  5. 5 TSAT Take Aways • TSAT Acquisition Plan with Risk Reduction Study Phase, Demonstrations, and Technical Readiness is part of future Acquisition Reform • Current Environment in Washington and OSD is not favorable for large new system starts like TSAT • RR&SD and Acquisition took too long for both Government and Industry • TSAT did not have a single champion as it tried to be all things to all people
