Space Force seeking feedback on RG-XX draft RFP

The Space Force is seeking feedback on a draft request for proposals for the next generation of “neighborhood watch” satellites for on-orbit space domain awareness.The service posted the draft yesterday under the title “Andromeda Draft RFP” but clarified the program is part of RG-XX. The program intends to award multiple indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts, according to the notice, with firm, fixed prices.Eventual contractors will “define, design, and build technologies and space-based systems for the Space Domain Awareness mission area,” the notice states.The government is looking for feedback on feasibility, clarity, testability and cost drivers of the requirements among other topics in the draft, the notice states.The RG-XX program is intended to replace the legacy Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP).Acting space acquisition chief Maj. Gen. Stephen Purdy said last month that he expects the official request to be posted by the end of the year so long as funding comes through.Purdy would not give a number for how many satellites the service intends to buy, only saying he would like “as many as possible . . . as rapidly as possible.”The publicly viewable version of the draft RFP does not provide many details about capabilities, but Purdy has said that requirements were modified to ensure the program could be viable for commercial entrants. He also stated that space access, mobility and logistics (SAML) capabilities will be baked into the request.

Bell will field first MV-75 test aircraft in FY-27 as Army moves up timeline

As the Army plans to move out on an ambitious plan to field 24 Future Long Range Assault Aircraft -- the MV-75 -- in two years, prime contractor Bell Textron plans to fly its first test aircraft in fiscal year 2027.Despite the Army Transformation Initiative and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s stated intent to get away from longer term programs of record, the secretary said earlier this year that the service intends to pull the MV-75 program to the left, with the goal of fielding 24 aircraft in 24 months.Ultimately, the Army wants to field the MV-75 to a brigade within 30 months, and to a battalion in 18 months, Ryan Ehinger, Bell’s senior vice president and program director for the MV-75, told Inside Defense last week on the showroom floor of the Association of the United States Army conference.About five months ago, Bell got the call from the Army to accelerate the program. The company gave a few options for accomplishing the task, including accelerating production, increasing the ramp rate and increasing the speed of deliveries of initial test aircraft, Ehinger said.The MV-75 is now more than “90% engineering released,” meaning that 90% of the hardware design work is done.“In terms of getting a test aircraft designed and built, getting that engineering released is the first step,” Ehinger said.The Army has told Bell it has enough confidence in the design of the MV-75 “ahead of multiple years of test activity,” according to Ehinger. After it builds the test aircraft, he said, the company plans to build its production aircraft “in parallel with our test activity.”“What gives me confidence in doing that is we've spent a significant amount of investment on the industry and the government side, on digital engineering, on model based systems engineering, on all the rigor to make sure that we are appropriately addressing the requirements that the Army has laid out, both on the hardware and the software side, and on the open systems architecture side. And the return on that investment is being able to accelerate production,” he said.Concurrent with its other work on the MV-75, Bell is working on sub assemblies for other parts such as the wings and fuselage, Ehinger added.The MV-75 will be the eventual replacement for the Black Hawk helicopter, with the Army having already started the process of divesting from older models of the legacy helicopter fleet. Brig. Gen. David Phillips, the Army’s program executive officer for aviation, told reporters during AUSA last week that the first two virtual prototypes will be delivered to Ft. Rucker, AL, and Redstone Arsenal, AL, with a critical design review scheduled for next spring.Meanwhile, the Army has been standing up a detachment team of about 30 people to examine the “DOTMLPF” aspect of the program -- referring to training and doctrine, according to Brig. Gen. Cain Baker, the service’s aviation future capabilities director.“As the equipment starts getting fielded, we’ve got experts that understand the doctrine piece of this, the training requirements, and then really the most important part, how the aircraft is going to perform from a sustainment aspect, from a flying aspect,” Baker said.The ramp rate on production for the MV-75 likely won’t occur until the 2030s, officials said during AUSA. No decision has been made yet on whether the Army will pursue an eleventh multiyear procurement contract for the Black Hawk, when the current one expires in FY-26. But Maj. Gen. Clair Gill, the commanding general of the Army Aviation Center of Excellence, said Black Hawks will still be operational when the service begins to “layer in” the newer aircraft into formations.“We’re all going to be off this earth and the Black Hawk’s still going to be flying,” Gill said.

One of the world's rarest whales that makes the Atlantic its home grows in population

An immigration attorney in Chelsea, Massachusetts, is suing the federal government after agents with the Department of Homeland Security seized his cellphone at Logan Airport in Boston — an action he said was unreasonable and a violation of his clients’ rights.Andrew Lattarulo has represented several high-profile clients in Massachusetts, including a 13-year-old boy recently detained in Everett by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and a Brazilian woman in Worcester whose detainment in May prompted outrage by immigrant advocates. He filed a suit asking a federal judge to order the Trump administration to destroy the data it took from his phone.“Attorney Lattarulo brought this case to protect his clients,” said Patrick Hanley, Lattarulo’s attorney. “He’s very aware and very knowledgeable of the administration’s current enforcement priorities. He makes the people that are interested in that, like his clients, aware of it.”According to court filings, Lattarulo was returning from a trip to Aruba with his brother and his law partner, Audai Cote, on Sept. 27 when federal agents approached him at Terminal C and confiscated his phone without a warrant.The government argued in court that agents had “reasonable suspicion,” noting that Homeland Security Investigations had been looking into Lattarulo’s law firm for possibly employing undocumented workers.Investigators said they flagged 117 people in the firm’s employment verification forms — also known as I-9s — who allegedly lacked proper work documentation.Lattarulo’s lawyers said that only his phone was seized, not his partner’s, and that the government is retaliating against him for publicly criticizing federal immigration policies online.“There does seem to be another motive, and we don’t see the government arguing that they’re looking for information on account of him being an immigration attorney,” said Stefanie Fisher-Pinkert, an immigration lawyer who liaises with Customs and Border Protection at Logan Airport. “In our liaison conversations with CBP, they’ve noted that there is training for officers, and if somebody says, ‘Hey, I’m an attorney, and I have attorney-client privileged information on there,’ that they are required to take certain precautions. That doesn’t mean they don’t have that reasonable suspicion on an unrelated topic.”Other immigration attorneys, including Eloa Celedon, expressed concern about what this means for their profession.“We’re walking around like, ‘Are we targets, or is my phone going to be taken away, is my laptop going to be taken away?'” Celedon said.“On rare occasions, officers/agents may search a traveler’s mobile phone, or other electronic devices during the inspection process,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. “CBP has established strict guidelines to ensure that these searches are exercised judiciously and responsibly.”For now, a federal judge has ordered the government not to search or destroy the copied data from Lattarulo’s phone until she makes a final ruling.More immigration newsImmigrationOct 1513-year-old detained by ICE in Everett, rally held calling for his releaseImmigrationOct 13Chicago man fined $130 by ICE agents for not carrying Green CardImmigrationOct 12Feeling hopeless in custody, many drop claims to remain in the US, leave voluntarily

Former NFL player Doug Martin dies while in Oakland police custody

People with a leading cause of blindness were able to read again thanks to a tiny wireless chip implanted in the back of the eye and specialized augmented glasses, according to study results published Monday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The trial involved 38 European patients, all of whom had an advanced stage of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) known as geographic atrophy. There is no cure for AMD, which is driven by changes in a part of the retina called the macula and caused by inflammation and a build-up of waste. The photoreceptor cells in the macula are responsible for producing sharp, detailed and colored vision. When the disease has progressed to the geographic atrophy stage, these cells deteriorate and die, and people lose their central vision — meaning that an object straight ahead may appear blurry or covered up with a dark blotch. Roughly 22 million people in the U.S. have AMD, and about 1 million have geographic atrophy, according to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation.In the study, the participants, who had an average age of 79,were fitted with the “PRIMA device,” a system meant to replicate vision. Patients wear augmented reality glasses embedded with a camera that captures their visual field. What the camera “sees” is transmitted to the chip implanted in their eye in the form of infrared light. The chip converts the light into an electrical current, which stimulates the remaining healthy cells in the macula in a realistic way, enabling signals these cells send to be interpreted by the brain as vision. An image processor, which the user must carry, lets patients zoom in and magnify the images they see, which appear in black and white.With the help of the PRIMA device, 80% of the 32 patients who returned for a reassessment one year after the chip implantation had achieved clinically meaningful visual improvements. Patients did experience side effects, predominantly related to the surgical procedure: The study reported that 26 serious adverse events occurred in 19 of the patients, ranging from elevated blood pressure in the eye to an accumulation of blood around the retina. The majority of the adverse events resolved within two months of the implantation. “It’s the first ever therapeutic approach that has led to an improvement in visual function in this group of patients,” said Dr. Frank Holz, the trial’s lead investigator and chair of the department of ophthalmology at the University Hospital of Bonn in Germany. “Late-stage age-related macular degeneration is a dismal disease. Patients are no longer capable of reading, driving a car, watching TV or even recognizing faces. So [these results] are a game-changer in my mind.”One patient, Sheila Irvine, 70, who was fitted with the PRIMA device at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, said in a statement provided by the hospital that her life before receiving the implant was akin to “having two black discs in my eyes, with the outside distorted.” A self-described “avid bookworm” before losing her vision, Irvine said she was now able to do crosswords and read prescriptions.Dr. Sunir Garg, professor of ophthalmology at the retina service of Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, who was not involved in the study, said the results represent a breakthrough for patients with geographic atrophy. All doctors have been able to offer, he said, are visual aids, like magnifiers, and emotional support.“Even with new medical therapies, the best that we can do is slow it down,” said Garg, who works with several drugmakers involved in treatments for AMD, including Apellis Pharmaceuticals, the maker of pegcetacoplan. That drug, which slows the progression of geographic atrophy, was recently approved in the U.S. and must be injected into the eye every 1 to 2 months. “We can’t stop it, and we can’t do anything to bring back lost vision.”Dr. Demetrios Vavvas, director of the retina service at Mass Eye and Ear in Boston, who was also not involved in the study, said that the PRIMA system is not without limitations.Vavvas noted that the surgery required to implant the chip in the eye requires a high level of surgical skill and is not without risk. “You have to lift the retina off its normal position to implant this device, which increases the atrophy,” said Vavvas, who is a consultant to Sumitomo Pharmaceuticals, a company working on stem cell therapies for patients with other forms of vision loss. Vavvas said it was important to note that the device isn’t restoring normal vision, as patients were only able to see in black and white rather than color, and the trial participants had to undergo a significant amount of training in order to learn how to see with the PRIMA device. He also said that it wasn’t clear whether the enhancements in visual ability had significantly improved the patients’ quality of life.But at the same time, Vavvas was also optimistic about its future potential, describing the current iteration of PRIMA as a key stepping stone in the field of vision restoration. “Think of this device as the pre-release iPhone,” he said. “The limitations are clear. We shouldn’t oversell that the quality of life really improved. But there were certain [visual] tasks at which the patients were clearly better. So it shows to us that there is potential in this approach. It is still in some ways, a prototype. They’re working on iterations of this device that will be better.”New upgrades to the PRIMA device could be coming in the next couple of years. The PRIMA system was invented by Stanford University ophthalmology professor Daniel Palanker and is being developed by the California-based neural engineering company Science Corporation.Palanker said technical improvements are being made to increase the number of pixels in the chip from 400 to 10,000. The new chips have already been tested in rats, and the upgraded chips are being manufactured for future human trials. With the aid of the camera’s zoom function, Palanker said that this could theoretically enable patients to achieve 20/20 visual resolution.“We are also working on next generation software that will allow patients to perceive not just black-and-white text, but also grey-scale natural images, such as faces,” Palanker said.Palanker suggested that the technology could be trialed in other retinal diseases that cause blindness, such as Stargardt disease, which has similar symptoms to age-related macular degeneration but is genetic and usually affects younger people.Garg and Vavvas are eager to see larger trials that provide more details about how the device improves patients’ ability to function on a day-to-day basis. Vavvas suggested that future trials should include a control arm to understand the extent to which the device yields real-world benefits, for example compared to existing electronic magnifiers. “Is it something that is good enough for patients to say, ‘Well, I’ve regained my independence because I can now do my credit card bills myself, stamp and address my envelopes myself, and look at grocery store labels?’” Garg said. “Those kinds of practical things I would like to know more about.”“This is a chronic disease that you will have for life, so we need more than one year of follow-up to see other risks, other problems,” Vavvassaid. “Does that signal of efficacy that we see at 12 months, remain two years later?”While Vavvas said he would not call the device a complete panacea for blindness, the study showed that brain-computer interfaces can represent an important approach to tackling different kinds of severe visual impairment. “As the iterations of this device become better and better, it could become a real solution for a cohort of patients,” he said.
