About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks proposals through a Broad Agency Announcement for Phase 0 and Phase 1 of the Control of Revolutionary Aircraft with Novel Effectors program, which will design, build, and flight test an experimental aircraft incorporating active flow control technologies. Phase 0 focuses on conceptual design and trade studies concluding with a design review, while Phase 1 continues maturation of up to two concepts with component testing to inform requirement, design and downselect reviews. Proposals are due by November 8, 2019 and must present credible plans to achieve flight demonstration objectives and quantifiable performance improvements from active flow control.
There is no set-aside designation. Phase 0 awards totaling $21 million are expected to be made to multiple performers, and Phase 1 options will be considered as appropriate. Up to two concepts may advance from Phase 1 to inform requests for Phase 2-3 proposals issued during Phase 1 performance. Numerical goals include quantifiable performance improvements from incremental flight testing to demonstrate capabilities. NAICS code 336411 applies.
Notice text
CRANE will design, build, and flight test an X-Plane that incorporates Active Flow Control (AFC) as a primary design consideration. This BAA seeks full proposals for Phase 0 and a fully priced option for Phase 1. Phase 0 focuses on the aircraft design process and trade space development via the exploration of multiple configurations by each performer and concluding with a Conceptual Design Review (CoDR). Phase 1 continues the maturation of up to two concepts with the expectation of component level testing and demonstrations to inform a System Requirement Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), and down selection to a single performer/single concept for Phase 2/3 funding. Only proposals addressing CRANE objectives will be eligible for funding under this BAA and only Phase 0 and Phase 1 performers will be eligible to participate in Phases 2 and 3. DARPA seeks proposals that present a credible path to demonstration of program objectives (see Figure 1 for a notional schedule). The Government will request Phase 2/3 proposals during Phase 1 execution.
