- Description
- The U.S. Army, Research, Development and Engineering Center ??? Picatinny, continuing with a previous pre-solicitation notice, number W15QKN-06-T-0616, posted on July 06, 2006, and subsequently continued under number W15QKN-06-R- 0632, is contemplating the issuance of a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) set aside for Historically Black Colleges and Universities/ Minority Institutions/ Hispanic Serving Institutions (HBCU/MI/HSI) which have the experience and knowledge to explore and develop the specific directed research topics discussed below. It is anticipated that the proposed Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) will be available on FedBizOpps imminently. Interested, responsible institutions (offerors) will have sixty days to respond with proposals upon issuance of the BAA. The proposed BAA provides an opportunity for Academia within the set-aside institutions to explore and develop specific areas of science and technology (and their applications to these specific areas) which are of interest to the U.S. Army. There are a total of four research topics within three Science and Technology areas that have applications of interest to the U.S. Army at this time: ??? Armaments Science & Technology Area: Ballistic Impact Dynamic Modeling of Fabric for New Protection Systems: Develop innovative design tool for evaluating the performance of fabrics that will be used in improved protection systems against current and future threats. ??? Battlespace Awareness Science & Technology Area: Innovative Intelligence Agent and Cognitive Decision Aids Component Technology for Net Centric Fires: Develop real time intelligent agent based algorithms and reusable code components that can provide the basis for developing the next generation of intelligent, network centric fires management, execution and control software for Future Combat System applications. Target Image Transformation and Transfer: Determine a methodology to resize, transform, compress and transfer the image of a target and associated reference points from a Fire Control system to an autonomous small caliber projectile and store the image in the projectile. ??? Novel/Directed Energy Science & Technology Area: Hybrid Soldier Power Source: Develop novel concepts for methods and devices to harvest electrical energy during locomotion for hybrid power systems for soldiers. The power must provide a power source that is safe and light-weight. The power source must not provide a thermal signature, be cumbersome, increase fatigue or interfere with the free movement of the user. The overall objective of the proposed BAA is to create relationships with the targeted Institutions and introduce the aforementioned Institutions to the technology trends available at the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Center. Although these concepts are considered basic research, it is desirable to mature these concepts for possible future programs. No responses to this notice are required. The purpose is only to advise interested colleges, universities, and institutions within this set-aside procurement of the intent of the Department of the Army to introduce a BAA on the aforementioned topics at the time frame cited in this message. Commander U.S. Army, JM&L LCMC Joint Armaments Contract Center Attn: AMSML-AQ-JA, Mr. Robert M. Grados Building 10 Picatinny, NJ 07806-5000 Questions may be emailed to: rgrados@pica.army.mil, (973) 724-8718 If your institution has either an existing or developmental item that meets the specified requirements please be advised as to the release date. This is a pre-solicitation notice. There is no formal solicitation available at this time. A formal solicitation will be generated imminently. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION AND DOES NOT OBLIGATE THE GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A SOLICITATION. Please be advised that the Government will not pay for any information submitted under this announcement. An award may or may not be made as a result of the proposed BAA. There is no need to submit information at this time. See numbered note 5.
