ECLPSE Qs and As.pdf

This document provides details on a two-step open Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation seeking research and analysis proposals related to cyber-physical sensing and Electronic Warfare (EW)-kinetic effects. The solicitation is seeking to enable understanding of how cyber-connected devices interact with the physical environment across applications such as manufacturing, utilities, transportation, agriculture, and medicine. Research objectives involve analyzing behaviors, interactions, and vulnerabilities across domains from a multi-domain sensing perspective; modeling, simulation and analysis; experiments, testing and evaluation; Small Unmanned Systems Exploitation; cyber research and development; electronic warfare research and development; machine learning; autonomy; information fusion; and novel exploitation products. The estimated period of performance for projects funded under this solicitation ranges from one to four years, with the effort estimated to be 15% basic research, 70% applied research and 15% advanced research, and an expected Technology Readiness Level range of 1 to 4. The solicitation was released by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory.
