. BAA 905. Aircraft Energy Conservation and Environmental Compliance

1. Naval Needs. The Navy seeks innovative concepts that can introduce applications for aircraft energy conservation, carbon footprint reduction and environmental compliance with the potential for rapid transition to Fleet. Technologies for consideration may utilize a wide array of approaches and technologies and are not restricted to only propulsion and power.

2. Technology Goals. Proposed programs should focus on the quantification of technology cost and benefits. Technology maturity should, at a minimum, have basic technological components integrated with reasonably realistic supporting elements and be ready for testing and capable of making near-term, measurable improvements to Navy energy conservation, carbon footprint reduction and environmental compliance.

3. Program Scope. Proposed programs shall be of one to two years in duration and consist of distinct tasks leading to validation of the technology benefits and implementation costs. Several ideas may be included within one proposal in the form of options, such that the government may select for award any or all the options that most closely match the needs of the Navy. Contract awards may be incrementally funded.
