FAST, Phase I

DARPA is soliciting proposals for the development and demonstration
of a High Power Generation Subsystem (HPGS) that, when combined with
state-of-the-art electric propulsion systems, will form the
technological basis for a light weight, high power, highly mobile
spacecraft platform, generating as much as 50-80 kW for operational
users, but at high specific power levels (130 W/kg or better). The
FAST HPGS would also greatly enhance the performance of
historically "power-starved" payloads, such as communications or
radar.
DARPA Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) No. 07-65, entitled Fast Access
Spacecraft Testbed (FAST), is provided as an attachment to this
solicitation notice and includes information on the specific areas of
interest; submission process; abstract and proposal formats;
evaluation and selection/funding processes; as well as all other
pertinent administrative and contractual information. The BAA may be
obtained from the FedBizOpps website: http://www.fedbizopps.gov.
