This Broad Agency Announcement from the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate solicits proposals for research in various areas of armament technology through March 2022. Proposals are sought across multiple topic areas including energetic materials, fuzes, lethality and vulnerability modeling, computational mechanics, damage mechanisms, navigation and control technology, modeling and simulation, and target recognition. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit, cost, and principal investigator qualifications. White papers may be submitted at any time through March 2022, with responses to specific Calls due as specified in each Call.

There is no set-aside designation specified. Total awards under the BAA are not expected to exceed $500 million over a five-year period of performance taking place at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
