On September
18, the Air Force Research Laboratory posted an update to the Space Situation Awareness
(SSA), Characterization, and Assessment Broad Agency Announcement (BAA).
This announcement is
for an Open, 2 Step BAA which is open and effective until 30 Sep 2023. Only
white papers will be accepted as initial submissions; formal proposals will be
accepted by invitation only. While white papers will be considered if received
prior to 1700 Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 30 Sep 2023, the following
submission dates are suggested to best align with projected funding:

FY23 by 2 Jan 2023
The focus of this BAA
is to research, develop, demonstrate, integrate, test and deliver innovative
technologies associated with tasking, collection, processing, exploitation,
analysis and dissemination of data and information in support of Space Situation
Awareness (SSA), characterization, and assessment of space related events. In
addition, the BAA will develop techniques that provide avenues to leverage new
sensor technology, High-Performance Computational SSA, expertise and
applications from the ground, orbital and cyber intelligence assessment
perspectives to attain an integrated, predictive SSA perspective.
BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING: Total funding for this BAA is approximately $99.9M.
Individual awards will not normally exceed 48 months with dollar amounts
normally ranging from $450K to $5M. There is also the potential to make awards
