The following topic is an anticipated requirement for AFRL/RY. A BAA requesting proposals for this topic is anticipated to be published between October and November 2015.

The anticipated funding listed below reflects estimated funding only. This estimate is not a promise of funding.

Funding is uncertain and is subject to change. Changes in availability may occur at the discretion of the Government.

Program Description: The objective of the MOAST program is to conduct exploratory, applied, and advanced Research and Development (R&D) to evolve and expand emerging open architecture standards, such as the Open Mission Systems (OMS) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Command and Control Initiative (UCI), for current and next-generation Air Force weapon systems. This research will provide robust, open architecture solutions to enable affordable capability evolution, reduced integration risk, sustained competition across the life-cycle, as well as make these systems resilient to cyber-attack.

General OPSEC procedures, policies and awareness will be required in an effort to reduce program vulnerability from successful adversary collection and exploitation of critical information. OPSEC will be applied throughout the lifecycle of any potential contract. The Critical Information List will be provided upon request by the RYOY Information Protection Office. While working on the government installation OPSEC will be provided by the “RYOY Information Protection Office".

The contractor shall be required to deliver all hardware, software, and associated data developed and utilized in the development of any resulting contract. It is anticipated that a BAA providing details into this program will be released between October and November 2015; the BAA will be made available at www.fbo.gov.
