- Description
- This synopsis is being posted to Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov. It is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the Internet. This amendment is a Topic Call under NSWCDD Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) # N00178-14-Q-1200. All terms and conditions of NSWCDD BAA N00178-14-Q-1200 apply to this Topic Call. This Topic Call covers the following NSWCDD Technical Capabilities (TC) areas: DD03 Radar and Electro-Optic Systems RDT&E DD12 Directed Energy Systems RDT&E DD13 Weapons Systems Integration for Surface, Air, and Ground Unmanned Systems DD14 Expeditionary and Other Weaponry Systems RDT&E DD19 Surface Warfare Electromagnetic Environmental Effects This Topic Call is seeking white papers for innovative technologies in the areas of photo-capacitive and photo-conductance properties of materials, nanotechnology based materials with unique electromagnetic properties, meta-materials, and novel vacuum electronic microwave devices with large fractional bandwidths and high electronic efficiencies. Specific areas of interest include: (1) Advanced materials for photo-capacitance applications with low loss and/or high power capacity for dynamically controlling electromagnetic components. For example, materials such as GaAs (gallium arsenide), AgCl (silver chloride), SiC (silicon carbide), the class of photoconductive transparent oxides and the like can display direct photo-capacitance, or photoconductivity that manifests itself as photo-capacitance in various configurations (single crystal, dielectric mixtures, etc.). (2) Advanced methods to control/tune large area electromagnetic structures such as metasurfaces, frequency selective surfaces, and reflect-arrays. (3) Advanced nano-structured materials (CNTs (carbon nanotubes), BNTs (boron nitride nanotubes), etc.). The novel integration of such into electromagnetic materials with enhanced properties over current state-of-the-art is sought. Examples include nano-thermionic and/or field-effect cathodes, nano-sensors, and the like. (4) Optical films and layers for isotropic and anisotropic optical stimulation of unit-cell structures, and large arrays of cell structures. (5) Analytical and computational based models describing the physics of the material behaviors of the above described areas. (6) Supporting engineering technology/processes to advance the above areas (machining, milling, etc.) which must be developed to achieve mass production of a given material, etc. (7) Advanced cathode emitter technology (field effect, combined field-effect/thermionic, etc.). Novel ideas for production of large peak and large average current densities are highly encouraged. (8) Novel RF (radio frequency)/mm (millimeter)-wave amplifiers or oscillator devices utilizing advanced techniques/ materials for bandwidth and DC (direct current)/RF efficiency improvements over state-of-the-art. (9) Theoretical and Experimental understanding of reactive near-field of antennae and coupling mechanisms in stochastic receiver configurations (i.e. random receivers). Research into the use of reactive near-field as force-sensor for detection and possibly discrimination of moving arbitrary material in said field. (10) Computational Physics based algorithm development in the areas of multi-scale physics (time and spatial), along with highly efficient algorithms for first-cut engineering design processes. The due date for the requested white papers is 31 March 2015. However, white papers will still be accepted until the BAA closing date, 9 September 2015. If submitting white papers after 31 March 2015, please notify Angie Headley. A Peer Review Team will evaluate each white paper to determine its overall technical value and interest to the Government. NSWCDD reserves the right to request formal proposal packages from all, some, or none of the offerors that submitted white papers in response to a particular Topic Call. NSWCDD reserves the right to select for award and/or fund all, some, or none of the proposals received under this BAA. NSWCDD provides no funding for direct reimbursement of white paper or proposal development costs. White papers, technical proposals, and cost proposals (or any other material) submitted in response to this BAA will not be returned. It is the policy of NSWCDD to treat all proposals as sensitive competitive information and to disclose their contents only for the purposes of evaluation. NSWCDD's adherence to this policy does not in and of itself constitute any agreement that the contents of received proposals are in fact sensitive competitive information. SPECIAL NOTE -- CLASSIFIED SUBMISSIONS: It is not anticipated that white papers or formal technical and cost proposals submitted in response to a Topic Call hereunder will request or require the inclusion of classified information to be responsive. If an Offeror hereunder knows or reasonably believes that a white paper or formal technical and cost proposal contains information that is classified or classifiable, the Offeror SHALL NOT submit the white paper or proposal to Angie Headley for the Topic Call. Instead, the Offeror shall call or write Angie Headley at 540-653-7097 or angela.headley@navy.mil to obtain instructions regarding the submission of classified or classifiable information. If the Government knows or reasonably anticipates, for a particular Topic Call, that white papers or proposals may contain classified or classifiable information, the Topic Call will provide specific instructions for submission of white papers or proposals. SUBMISSION OF CLASSIFIED WHITE PAPERS OR PROPOSALS IN DISREGARD OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS OR THE INSTRUCTIONS IN A PARTICULAR TOPIC CALL MAY RESULT IN DESTRUCTION OR OTHER DISPOSAL OF THE WHITE PAPER OR PROPOSAL WITHOUT NOTICE TO THE OFFEROR AND WITHOUT FURTHER CONSIDERATION FOR AN AWARD HEREUNDER. SUCH SUBMISSION MAY ALSO RESULT IN CIVIL AND/OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES AS PRESCRIBED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
