Questions and Answers

(Updated as of 25 May 2007)

Question #1: The BAA indicates that FY08 funding is $25M. The BAA also indicates that 2-5 awards are anticipated in the range of $600K- $1.25M per year, per award. So, even assuming that five awards are made at the maximum value of $1.25M/yr, the total commitment is 5 x $1.25M, which is $6.25M. This is considerably less than the $25M available in FY 08. Can you clarify this disconnect? We ask this question because we have some innovative technologies that could reach a high TRL and be demonstrated in a realtime field test within three years.

Performing a field test would require more dollars. Will ONR consider a larger award for a complete networked system demo in a field test?

Answer #1: There is no set award limit. $600K to $1.25M is an estimate of the average total award per year. Proposals of higher and lower amounts will also be considered.

Question #2: When is the Industry Day?

Answer #2: There is no Industry Day Event. In lieu of this, ONR is hosting a “Virtual” Industry Day through 30 May 2007. After registration, you may download the Industry Day presentations to your computer.
