About this opportunity
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for research and development in training simulation technology through the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD). The BAA seeks fundamental research proposals from educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and private industry to explore innovative training techniques and technologies supporting naval training systems. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, relevance to Navy needs, potential contribution to mission objectives, personnel expertise, past performance, and cost realism. The solicitation is open from January 26, 2021, through January 25, 2026, with proposals accepted on a rolling basis. Key research areas include adaptive training, distributed learning, human behavior modeling, simulation fidelity, virtual and augmented reality, training effectiveness evaluation, and maintenance training systems.
There is no specific set-aside designation for this BAA, and the opportunity is open to a broad range of potential contractors. The research projects may receive contracts for up to five years, with annual negotiations and funding subject to availability. While specific award values are not detailed, the BAA encourages interdisciplinary research teams to propose projects that can generate empirical research, software and computer models, test beds, and proof-of-concept demonstrations. The NAICS code for this opportunity is 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities), and the PSC category is AJ12 (General Science and Technology R&D Services). Proposals should focus on developing technology products that optimize training systems across various mission areas and training stages, with the ultimate goal of creating more effective and less expensive naval training technologies.

Please see the attached BAA Document (Amendment 05) for complete details - what you see below is only a brief excerpt summary.
NAWCTSD has comprehensive simulation and training systems responsibilities ranging from research and technology base development through system acquisition and life cycle support. The Research and Engineering Competency is NAWCTSD’s arm of the laboratory system. Its mission is to plan and perform a full range of directed R&D in support of Naval training systems. The work covers the broad spectrum of training simulation technology as applied across mission areas and all stages of training. It is intended that programs under the BAA include Fundamental research related to this mission. “Fundamental Research” means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community, as distinguished from proprietary research and from industrial development, design, production, and product utilization, the results of which ordinarily are restricted for proprietary or national security reasons.
The requirement for R&D conducted under this BAA is to explore unique training techniques incorporating innovative behavioral and engineering technologies, which are needed for more effective and/or less expensive training systems. Technology products may include empirical research, software and computer models, test beds and proof of concept demonstrations. Projects should provide insight to NAWCTSD personnel to optimize the use of training systems. Research areas that are described in the remainder of this chapter are important, but other R&D topics supporting training systems may also be considered. The following research areas and topics are not intended to be mutually exclusive but rather are often interdependent and may be exercised in various combinations at any time. In fact, proposals that involve interdisciplinary teams are especially encouraged.
