Eligibility Categories

Unrestricted

All responsible sources from academia and industry may submit proposals under this BAA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals. However, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCU and MI participation. Federally Funded Research & Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal bidders are allowed so long as they are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC. Navy laboratories and warfare centers as well as other Department of Defense and civilian agency laboratories are also not eligible to receive awards under this BAA and should not directly submit either white papers or full proposals in response to this BAA. If any such organization is interested in one or more of the programs described herein, the organization should contact an appropriate ONR POC to discuss its area of interest. The various scientific divisions of ONR are identified at http://www.onr.navy.mil/. As with FFRDCs, these types of federal organizations may team with other responsible sources from academia and industry that are submitting proposals under this BAA. Teams are also encouraged and may submit proposals in any and all areas. However, Offerors must be willing to cooperate and exchange software, data and other information in an integrated program with other contractors, as well as with system integrators, selected by ONR. Some topics cover export controlled technologies. Research in these areas is limited to "U.S. persons" as defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) - 22 CFR ¤ 1201.1 et seq. (See Section VII, Other Information)

Grant Description

The Office of Naval Research (ONR 312) seeks highly innovative, game changing white papers for component technologies that aim to develop and demonstrate S&T (science and technologies) for future electromagnetic systems. The goal of the electronics applied research program is to develop and transition affordable, high performance electromagnetic technologies that will provide a decisive edge to the warfighter. The program encompasses applied research in digital, analog, microwave, millimeter wave and photonic technologies. The technologies proposed and their capabilities must clearly exceed those that are obtainable through Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products in areas of performance including, but not limited to, power output, power efficiency, frequency, bandwidth (instantaneous and operating), linearity, dynamic range, agility, architecture enhancement, size and weight. All white papers must clearly show how and where the proposed effort diverges from current state of art and the impact if successful. The magnitude of the white paper's originality, innovation, and articulated potential for impact are all heavily weighted selection criteria.
