1. Does the offeror need to do anything in preface to submitting white papers?

All requirements are set forth in the BAA.

2. Would CCTV and Thermal camera based artificial intelligence solutions for swimmer/diver detection be suitable candidates for this solicitation?

Search and imaging of the surface is an important aspect of a comprehensive system, but the greatest technical challenges are associated with underwater detection, which will be given higher priority.

3. Are investigations in to technologies that only detect swimmers when partially emerging from the water radar considered responsive to this BAA?

Yes. Search and imaging of the surface is an important aspect of a comprehensive system, but the greatest technical challenges are associated with underwater detection, which will be given higher priority.

4. For the white paper, how detailed of a cost description is desired? Do you need a breakdown of the labor categories and a list of expected ODC purchases and travel, or would rough estimates be adequate?

The cost description is to be a one page cost estimate on a yearly basis partitioned by major tasks. An itemized budget is not required.
