Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

Although this document is an RFI (no contract value disclosed), the subsequent Tranche 4 solicitation is expected to fund development, prototyping, and flight‑demonstration activities. Similar SDA demonstration contracts have ranged from a few hundred thousand dollars for small‑scale prototypes to several million dollars for full‑scale payload production and flight testing. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the eventual award would be between $0.5 million and $5 million, depending on the scope of work awarded.
