Relevant areas of interest:
White papers for potential FY10 Exploratory Development/Applied Research (Budget category 6.2) projects are sought under the following focus areas:
- Next generation tactical data link waveforms/networks simultaneously satisfying conflicting requirements of low-intercept, anti-jam and bandwidth, while being scalable to hundreds of nodes within a few hops (i.e., maintain low latency).
- Electronic protection for High Frequency (HF) Communications (e.g., electrically small antennas, low observable or feature-less waveforms, rapid synch/detection, blind beam forming, and dynamic interference cancellation).
- Efficient and robust multi-hop networking in the presence of significant differences in communications performance between transmit and receive links (e.g., asymmetry in error rate due to link disruption) of some pairs of nodes.
- Concepts using the platform superstructure as an antenna and efficiently coupling the signal to the communications system, both in the receive as well as in the transmit direction. Some receive capability has been shown in the HF, but needs to be expanded to other frequency bands.
- Mitigation techniques to overcome poor optical propagation through aerosols/obscurants (e.g., fog and cloud propagation/scattering of 1.5 micron communications wavelength) ONR is also receptive to highly innovative ideas in other general communications and networking areas that are not designated focus as above, but nonetheless important to Navy/Marine Corps, as determined under the synopsis section above.

Relevant areas of interest:
Azimuth Sensing System: There is an urgent need for a system capable of improving targeting accuracy. Current weapon systems are capable of engaging targets with an accuracy that exceeds the limits of the targeting equipment. Currently only laser designation provides a practical solution to this problem, however, this makes the operator vulnerable to counterattacks. Accurate knowledge of a user location coupled with range, heading, and elevation to target provides a solution where a brief range-finding designation will allow for a target's location to be know well enough to call for a precision strike.

Relevant areas of interest:
White papers for potential FY10 Exploratory Development/Applied Research (Budget category 6.2) projects are sought under the following focus areas:
- Next generation tactical data link waveforms/networks simultaneously satisfying conflicting requirements of low-intercept, anti-jam and bandwidth, while being scalable to hundreds of nodes within a few hops (i.e., maintain low latency).
- Electronic protection for High Frequency (HF) Communications (e.g., electrically small antennas, low observable or feature-less waveforms, rapid synch/detection, blind beam forming, and dynamic interference cancellation).
- Efficient and robust multi-hop networking in the presence of significant differences in communications performance between transmit and receive links (e.g., asymmetry in error rate due to link disruption) of some pairs of nodes.
- Concepts using the platform superstructure as an antenna and efficiently coupling the signal to the communications system, both in the receive as well as in the transmit direction. Some receive capability has been shown in the HF, but needs to be expanded to other frequency bands.
- Mitigation techniques to overcome poor optical propagation through aerosols/obscurants (e.g., fog and cloud propagation/scattering of 1.5 micron communications wavelength) ONR is also receptive to highly innovative ideas in other general communications and networking areas that are not designated focus as above, but nonetheless important to Navy/Marine Corps, as determined under the synopsis section above.

Relevant areas of interest:
SPAWARSYSCEN CHASN is interested in receiving white papers for networkcentric engineering technology projects which offer potential for advancementand improvement of DoD operations (new/improved capability, increasedefficiency, reduced total ownership cost, etc). In accordance with FARparagraphs 35.016 and 6.102(d)(2), the scope of the BAA is limited to ""basicand applied research and that part of development not related to thedevelopment of a specific system or hardware procurement."" Projects on behalfof other federal agencies may be included in this BAA if they have a potentialbenefit to DoD.
This research opportunity is divided into six functional areas. From time totime, the BAA will be amended to included high interest topics from one ormore of these areas. These high interest topics represent subjects that areespecially relevant to SPAWAR scientists and engineers (and their sponsors) atthe time of inclusion and therefore have a higher likelihood of availablefunding. It should be noted that this does not preclude interest or funding forother topics. Offerors are encouraged to submit white papers on any topic theywish within the scope of one of the functional areas.
The functional areas are:
Federated Network Engineering, Wireless and Interior Communications, NetworkServices Engineering, Network Design and Analysis, Network Operations, andEnterprise Network Solutions
