Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Office-Wide

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division is seeking white papers and proposals through June 3, 2021 for research and development projects supporting its operations. Areas of interest include systems engineering, cost analysis, air vehicles, power and propulsion, avionics, human systems, weapons integration, support equipment, warfare analysis, and modeling and simulation. Proposers must first submit a white paper for evaluation, after which invitations to submit full proposals will be extended selectively. Full proposals are due by the dates specified in the individual invitation and must follow the formatting guidelines in the Broad Agency Announcement. Awards will be made through contracts, grants, cooperative agreements or other transaction agreements.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. Research areas align with NAICS codes 541712 and PSC codes R408, R425, and R425. As the incumbent, NAWCAD aims to foster innovation that advances its operational capabilities through new and continuing partnerships. Budgets and award values will vary depending on the individual project scope and invitation details. The BAA will remain open through next June to facilitate ongoing research collaborations.
