New SDA Open Topic under Small Business Opportunities – Space Development Agency The Space Development Agency (SDA) views small businesses as critical contributors to the performance of research and development supporting national security through space and is soliciting small business participation in the advancement of the Proliferated Warfare Space Architecture.
On November 28, SDA announced SDA24-P001 the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Advanced Capability Development Open Topic under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs, inviting submissions of innovative research proposals supporting the advancement of the PWSA.
We have several focus areas, including developing the optical communication terminal technology, integrating commercial sensing to the Transport Layer, In-space processing, generic BMC3 solutions, cyber, networking, and high performance clocks.
Each of these has a team of subject matter experts working at SDA to develop and build the industrial base, and seeking new and innovative technology that will help support the warfighter and their mission. The topic was posted publicly earlier in November as a preview for interested parties. Full topic descriptions for SDA24-P001 are available on DSIP at https://www.
dodsbirsttr. mil/submissions/login and SDA SBIR instructions and topic descriptions are available under the DOD SBIR 24. 4 Annual listing at defense.

Systems, Technologies, and Emerging Capabilities (STEC) Broad Agency Announcement is sponsored by Space Development Agency (SDA). This BAA solicits executive summaries, invited proposal abstracts, and proposals for novel architecture concepts, systems, technologies, and capabilities that enable leap-ahead improvements for future Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) tranches, enhancements to existing capabilities, or concepts for new capabilities to address emerging or evolving warfighter needs. It covers areas such as resilient Beyond Line-of-Sight Tactical Communications (RF, Custody), advanced target custody, warning, tracking and defeat, advanced/alternate Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT), and global battle management.
Department of Defense (DoD) SBIR/STTR Programs is sponsored by Space Development Agency (SDA). The SDA leverages the DoD SBIR/STTR program to support the development and demonstration of capabilities for its Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). This includes topics such as free-space optical communication technology for optical communication terminals, high-bandwidth sensor processing algorithms, advanced space mesh networking and routing systems, and satellite system digital twin development and integration.
NASA published an RFI on September 12, 2026 seeking states willing to host and sponsor the new United States Space Academy, with responses due October 26 at 6 p.m. EDT through SAM.gov. Only a governor or a governor's designee may submit, and only once per state. The timeline demands groundbreaking by 2027, 300 students in temporary facilities in 2028, and a permanent campus by 2031. Here is what that structure actually means for universities, economic development agencies, and contractors in the states that compete.
