Broad Agency Announcement, R&D Work for Unique Training Techniques

This is amendment 3 to the original BAA posting on 04 January 2016; to include various administrative updates detailed herein.

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 BAA 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. Collaborative arrangements between universities and industrial companies are also encouraged.
