About this opportunity
The Carderock BAA is a federal grant opportunity issued by the Department of Defense (DoD) that seeks research and development (R&D) proposals from higher education institutions, both public and private, in a variety of technical areas. The opportunity covers digital ecosystems, hydrodynamics, naval platform integrity, ship/boat/submarine design, signature management, and unmanned systems. Proposals will be evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, importance to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) programs, and fund availability. White papers are due by November 15, 2024, and full proposals must be submitted by February 28, 2025.
This opportunity will be funded through cooperative agreements and grants under the DoD's Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300). While specific award values are not provided, recent grants under this program have ranged from approximately $20,000 to over $9 million, with project periods typically spanning 1-5 years. The work is expected to be performed at the recipient institutions.
Synopsis
− Digital Ecosystems:
• High speed, intelligent, data-driven decision making for complex operations
• Data discovery, information and knowledge management
• Rapid adaptable policy and enforcement for digital environments
− Hydrodynamics:
• Computational hydrodynamic tools
• Seakeeping and loads in extreme seas
• Maneuvering and control
• Maneuvering in waves
• Cavitation
• Hull-propulsor interaction
• Hydrodynamic modeling of operations: in an ice slurry; multi-body interactions; propulsor hull system optimization; appendage characterization and scaling; near-surface and near-shore maneuvering and control modeling development
− Naval Platform Integrity:
• Naval metals and alloys; polymers and rubbers; structural composites; corrosion resistant materials; and/or high-temperature ceramics
• Additive Manufacturing and the relationship between processing, microstructure and materials properties, including M & S
• Structural assessment and monitoring
• Shock and Vulnerability
• Non-destructive testing and/or inspection
• Ship environmental treatment systems, management, and safety
• Bio-fouling and bio-fouling hydrodynamic effects
• Battery development and safety
• Alternative energy and power sources
− Ship. Boat, and Submarine Design:
• Ship/Boat/Submarine design tools
• Ship/Boat/Submarine design processes and methods
• Design evaluation/assessment capabilities
• New and non-traditional platforms
• Novel ship/boat/submarine designs and missions
− Signature Management:
• Underwater and topside signatures
• Mobile sensors
− Unmanned Systems:
• Low cost perception and situational awareness systems
• Autonomy and AI/ML decision making and computations
• Swarming capabilities
− Other technology areas will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
