ESA's Integrated and Telecommunications related Applications
Department (IAP) launched an open competitive Invitation to Tender
(ITT) for Improving Disaster Response Capacity. It calls for
feasibility study proposals aiming to satisfy the needs and
constraints of the relevant users and other stakeholders and increase
the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations through the use
of integrated space-based applications and associated services. The
specification of such integrated applications and associated services
shall employ at least two different types of space assets such as
Telecommunications, Earth Observation, and Navigation with existing
terrestrial assets.

The study shall also devise suitable mechanisms to enable rapid and
guaranteed access to both leased and on-demand satellite communication
capabilities. The proposed procedures must incorporate an improved
procurement scheme for SatCom capacity and a viable and sustainable
governance mechanism to support it.

Furthermore, this effort aims at enhancing international collaboration
preferably in cooperation with an international organisation dedicated
to the use of space-based assets and applications for disaster
management.

It is intended, if successful, to be followed up by a Demonstration
Project, in order to eventually establish a sustainable service
solution to improve Disaster Response Capacity on a global scale.

The competition closes on 3 October 2012.
