About this file
This solicitation calls for the development of a land scatter model of ionospheric effects. Specifically, the Air Force Research Laboratory seeks to augment its high frequency propagation modeling capabilities by developing maps of global vegetation, soil salinity impacted by rainfall, and resulting electric permittivity to produce a more accurate land scatter model that varies by location rather than using a single empirical value worldwide. Offerors are required to design, develop, implement, and test a prototype global land scatter module that can integrate with existing Air Force tools, and to generate relevant data layers pertaining to vegetation and permittivity validated to meet Air Force standards. The statement of objectives provides technical details on modeling targeted ionospheric regions and ensuring new information can be incorporated into current simulation systems.

Statement of Objectives (SOO) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA9453-19-S-0001 Call 008 Topic : Land Scatter Model of Ionospheric Effects Dated 1 May 2023 I. Scope:
To provide real-time modeling capabilities to specify the high frequency (HF) field aligned backscatter of the Ionosphere in order to meet various Air Force ionospheric diagnostic needs. These models will be made to complement current AFRL technology for Ionospheric environment and are to be modular. In particular, AFRL is seeking a Land Scatter Model of Ionospheric Effects.
II. Overall Objectives:
The DOD is interested in HF technologies. In order to enhance its capabilities and understandings of the HF Environment, AFRL/RVBX will enhance current software with up-to-date models on the Ionosphere.
Currently, AFRL’s HF Propagation tool provides a simulation of the return from the ground, known as ground clutter. However, this is modeled as an empirical return value that is constant over the globe. As several factors could change that number, additional research is needed. Specifically, models are needed that track global vegetation relevant to the HF scale radio waves and the salinity of soil with the rainfall at those locations that could produce a map of electric permittivity.
The purpose of this call is to augment current capabilities for modeling the targeted regions of the Ionosphere in the methods as followed: To create a land scatter model that is based off a global map instead of a constant number. To Create an HF relevant vegetation model. To produce an electric permittivity map from global salinity and rainfall.
III. Technical Objectives:
Design, develop, implement, and test a prototype code global land scatter module. Ensure that AFRL’s current tools can database new land scatter information. Develop relevant maps of electric permittivity and vegetation. Ensure that all new maps and databases are validated to meet AFRL’s given standards.
