About this program
The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command funds basic and applied research in Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities, information operations, cyberspace operations, and related information technology systems at educational, nonprofit, and commercial research institutions under Assistance Listing 12.335, with the most recent grant awards made in early 2019. Program activity has been sparse in recent years—seven total awards spanning 2011 through 2019, with no awards reported since February 2019. The portfolio shows a two-award cadence in 2019 and one award in 2012, after four awards in 2011; award frequency has not sustained at earlier levels.
The program funds research spanning sensor development, network analysis, advanced materials, and related defense applications. Recent funded projects include paper-based diagnostic sensors for pathogen detection, engineered electro-optical metamaterials for CMOS integration, MEMS fabrication training, compact antenna design, and network vulnerability analysis. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $3 million, with awards ranging from zero to $2.1 million. The $2.1 million Photonic Integration Foundry Project (2011) represents the program's largest award to date.
Awards are predominantly Project Grants (57 percent, four awards) with a smaller share of Cooperative Agreements (43 percent, three awards). The Department of the Navy dominates funding with five awards totaling $2.7 million federal dollars obligated, while the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command accounts for two awards and $312 thousand obligated.
