About this opportunity

This special notice from the Department of the Army Materiel Command solicits proposals for research related to distributed analytics in tactical networks. Specifically, proposals are sought to advance four goals: distributed in-network reasoning with adaptive analytics under limited resources; agile AI at the edge that can adapt to varying requirements and resource availability; cross-layer multimodal networking and communications for heterogeneous networks; and network monitoring for identifying windows of opportunity. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, nonprofits, government organizations, foreign entities, and for-profit businesses. Proposals must focus on one research goal and identify linkages to others. The submission deadline is March 20, 2024 and award selections will be made by July 1, 2024.

Awards made through this notice are expected to range from $500,000 to $700,000 per year for two years. The associated federal grant program is Basic Scientific Research under CFDA number 12.431, which supports Army-related basic research through cooperative agreements. Research conducted with award funds is expected to advance situational understanding at the tactical edge through distributed analytics in complex tactical networks.

The aim of this Special Notice under the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) (W911NF-23-S-0001) as amended, under Grants.gov Opportunity W911NF-23-S-0001-SPECIALNOTICE-Distributed Analytics in Tactical Networks, is to solicit proposals related to the ARL BAA Topic, "Networking Structure, Dynamics, and Protocols". The future battlefield will be increasingly complex (dynamics, scale, heterogeneity, peer adversaries) and resource constrained (bandwidth, storage, memory, computing power). This complex network must support multiple conflicting demands and must support distributed analytics at the edge. The Army is interested in collaborating with an awardee on research efforts to further develop adaptive, goal-driven, semantically-aware, distributed analytics for situational understanding at the tactical edge. Proposals are expected to focus on one of the research goals and to identify possible linkages to the other research goals. SEE ATTACHMENT FOR DETAILS.
