On August 15, the Office of Naval Research issued a special programs announcement for an Office of Naval Research opportunity: Enabling Technologies for Electronic Warfare and Surveillance. Responses are due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on December 20.
This announcement describes the technology areas, entitled “Electronic Warfare” and “RF Surveillance” under N0001424SB001, Long Range Broad Agency Announcement for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology, which can be found at https://www.nre.navy.mil/workwith-us/funding-opportunities/announcements.
The submission of proposals, their evaluation and the placement of research grants and contracts will be carried out as described in the above Long Range Broad Agency Announcement. The purpose of this announcement is to focus attention of the scientific community on (1) the areas of interest, including advancements in Electronic Warfare (EW), Surveillance, and other associated enabling technologies, (2) encourage dialogue amongst those interested in this area, and (3) the planned timetable for the submission of white papers and full proposals.
To fully enable spectrum superiority, naval forces (including the Marine Corps and Navy) must be able to control the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) by exploiting, deceiving, or denying enemy use of the spectrum while ensuring persistent naval ISR capabilities. The advance of adversary intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and EW capabilities across the full EMS (DC to daylight), and the proliferation of inexpensive, efficient processors, and transceivers has eroded our advantages, created a contested and congested operational environment, and degraded our naval ISR capabilities. This EW and Surveillance D&I BAA Call seeks innovative solutions to overcome these technical challenges.
Review the ONR EW, ISR call for proposals.
