Summary

The government seeks sources to provide a replacement Iridium SATCOM system, including antenna and transceiver components, for the KC-135 aircraft fleet. This upgrade is needed because the existing INMARSAT Aero‑I service will be discontinued and current hardware is becoming unsupportable, impacting mission reliability and maintainability.
