Relevant areas of interest: White papers are being solicited that propose a foundational reference architecture for an open framework environment that enables researchers to develop, analyze, and classify their software components and designs. Additionally, the open framework environment will facilitate transition of promising technologies into production use. The framework should include software and systems components and products of various degrees of pedigree residing together with appropriate role-based access controls and mechanisms that allow accounting for resources, the generation of system components, and documented case studies of their application to specific projects. This open framework environment should: have similar features to an interactive library or repository; facilitate evolutionary change; promote the understanding of the resources available within the repository; and provide mechanisms for applying the resources to system development work. The framework should incorporate technology to evaluate, implement, monitor, verify, and prove components.

Relevant areas of interest:
NOTE: The Word doc at the bottom of the weblink gives more details
This is an open-ended Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to solicit proposals for the "Metamaterial Materials Development for RF and Optical Applications" Program which will be managed and executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials & Manufacturing Directorate, Non-Metallic Materials Division (AFRL/RXB), Wright Research Site. This BAA is anticipated to remain "open" for three (3) years.
The overall objective of this program is to provide the Government with a procurement vehicle for executing the above named program. A metamaterial for the purpose of this BAA is defined as an artificial material with an engineered permittivity, permeability, and loss. Metamaterials can be grouped into the following categories: (a) double positive, where the permittivity and permeability are simultaneously positive and close in value to each other over a discreet bandwidth (b) Zero index, where the permittivity and permeability are simultaneously zero over a discrete bandwidth (c) double negatisve, where the permittivity and permeability are simultaneously negative over a discrete bandwidth. These metamaterials are potentially useful for RF antennas, filters, circulators, and frequency selective surfaces; as well as optical / IR beam steering, compact optical systems, mirrors, optical circuitry, interconnects, filters and limiter applications. The objective is to demonstrate transitionable metamaterial technologies for RF and Optical/IR applications. The scope of this BAA will cover the modeling, synthesis, processing, device fabrication/prototyping, production and testing of materials which fall into the categories 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:
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement for highly skilled personnel to support the Navy space programs development, enhancement, testing and configuration management of a collection of software used for design, development, test, launch, and mission operations of DoD assets. This software is constantly being enhanced to provide state of the art solutions to space applications. The core suite of software components are used in all aspects of the spacecraft or component life-cycle. This is a new requirement.
The development and maintenance of this software is currently being done by a number of different subcontractors under two prime contracts held by Orbital Sciences Corp, Greenbelt, MD and Praxis, Inc., Alexandria, VA. The purpose of this effort is to consolidate all support under one contract. The Contractor shall perform the technical and managerial tasks required to design, develop, test, maintain, enhance and provide configuration control for all software modules related to spacecraft and space component development/test and system operations. This includes but is not limited to: 1) the common ground software suite used in development, test and operations; 2) ground station and mission operations software; 3) integration and test software libraries, procedures and device control; 4) onboard flight software systems and firmware components; and 5) other software development required for new and/or advanced system development.

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
