CONCISE SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT: The Air Force Research Laboratory - Information Directorate (AFRL/RI) is soliciting white papers under this BAA in the area of multi-domain dynamic target solutions for targeting recommendations through optimization algorithms, sensitivity analysis, and analysis of alternatives. The BAA objective is to conceive, develop and demonstrate innovative and affordable technologies that provide accurate and timely planning and execution against full-spectrum dynamic, time-sensitive or pre-planned targets.

BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING: Total funding for this BAA is approximately $49.9M. Individual awards will not normally exceed 36 months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $100K to $500K. There is also the potential to make awards up to any dollar value as long as the value does not exceed the available BAA ceiling amount of $49.9M.

ANTICIPATED INDIVIDUAL AWARDS: Multiple Awards are anticipated.

TYPE OF INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE AWARDED: Procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements or other transactions (OT) depending upon the nature of the work proposed. In the event that an Other Transaction for Prototype agreement is awarded as a result of this competitive BAA, and the prototype project is successfully completed, there is the potential for a prototype project to transition to award of a follow-on production contract or transaction.
