The Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Submarine Security & Technology Branch (N87C5) of the Chief of Naval Operations' (CNO) Undersea Warfare Division (N87) are interested in receiving proposals focused on the identification of science and physics based signal detection technologies that, individually or as a system, can impact the security of the SSBN and the survivability of the SSGN/SSN submarine forces. Passive and active detection technologies with near term (0-5 years), mid-term (5-10 years) and far term (10-20 years) implications will be considered.

As part of its effort to understand the impact of technology on submarine security and survivability, the SSBN Security Technology Program (SSTP) may entertain proposals focused on improving the understanding of the generation, radiation, propagation, scatter, and detection of a variety of signal types (acoustic, chemical, optical, electromagnetic, hydrodynamic and radiological) associated with a submarine's operation. The SSTP is currently placing emphasis on Science and Technology (S&T) related to acoustic, optical, electromagnetic, and hydrodynamic phenomenology.

The ONR is seeking participants for this program that are capable of performing advanced S&T research that support demonstrating capabilities to achieve the goals described in this announcement.
