- Description
- BAA 09-AS-01 Description of Opportunity: JIEDDO is constantly seeking innovative counter-IED capabilities that can be rapidly developed, demonstrated and deployed to defeat IEDs employed against U.S. and coalition forces anywhere in the world, but especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. This BAA solicits proposals for the development of route clearance applications to defeat IEDs from a ground vehicle platform using acousto-seismic techniques to detect and defeat EFPs and shallow buried devices such as buried explosives and pressure plates in the road or on the side of the road. JIEDDO is interested in systems that can advance to a technology readiness level (TRL) of 5 within 24 months. At that time JIEDDO will assess the system at a Government range. Proposals must address at least one of the following four solicitation areas: a. Acousto-seismic technologies that will detect, discriminate and possibly defeat EFPs and shallow buried devices from a route clearance vehicle moving between 5 mph to 15 mph. Techniques that allow detection and discrimination and possibly defeat forward of the vehicle in time for it to stop prior to entering the IED kill zone will receive a more favorable consideration than those that look to the side of the vehicle or must pass over the IED to detect and discriminate. Sensors that scan will receive a more favorable consideration than those that interrogate. Scanning sensors support detection and discrimination from the same sensor. Interrogation sensors support just discrimination. Interrogation sensors are cued by another sensor. b. Acousto-seismic technologies that support other detection modalities. Proposals of this type must explicitly describe how the acousto-seismic sensor will be used in conjunction with other sensors. c. Acousto-seismic components (e.g. vibrometers, narrow-beam acoustic sources, high speed processors, etc.) that are not stand alone, but will provide enhancements to other sensors. Proposals of this type must explicitly describe how the development supports advancement of acousto-seismic techniques for EFPs and shallow-buried devices. Proposals of this type shall be ready for integration in 24 months from receipt of funds. d. JIEDDO will also consider proposals that use acousto-seismic techniques on platforms other than ground vehicles (i.e., robot, air or etc.). Proposals of this type must explicitly describe a concept of operation. SEE ATTACHED BAA DOCUMENT FOR FULL DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS. All proposals must be submitted to the JIEDDO BAA Information Delivery System (BIDS) website at https://bids.acqcenter.com/JIEDDO.
