Description
The Air Force Research Laboratory seeks innovative research to advance signal‑intelligence (SIGINT) technologies that enable faster exploitation, dissemination, and analytics of adversary signals. Offerors must submit a concise white‑paper (3‑5 pages) outlining objectives, technical approach, and deliverables, with the possibility of invitation to submit a full proposal for a 60‑month award. Funding is approximately $100 million total, with individual awards typically ranging from $1 million to $5 million. The effort emphasizes onboard ISR processing, high‑speed signal detection, cross‑domain analytics, and Open System Architecture compliance.
• Develop and prototype algorithms/methods for enhanced SIGINT exploitation and real‑time analytics.
• Demonstrate solutions on manned/unmanned ISR platforms and ensure OSA interoperability.
• Deliver prototype software/hardware, performance evaluations, and integration support for transition to operational use.
