Description
The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is soliciting white papers/proposals for research and development support in technologies applicable to air platforms, manned and unmanned payloads, advanced computing and processing, air platform support systems, advanced air system security and protection, and improved Naval air capabilities. The focus areas include improved technologies, techniques, or advanced applications of communications, Electro-Optical (EO), Infrared (IR), Radio Frequency (RF), acoustic and non-acoustic sensors, persistent surveillance technologies, and special sensor systems for Navy manned aircraft and Unmanned Air Systems (UAS).
Some key areas of interest include:
• UAS/Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV)/Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) autonomous operations
• Manned and UAS audio, visual, heat, and/or RF noise dampening/cancellation techniques
• Contested airspace payload/remote payload delivery
• Expendable/low-cost surveillance, communications relay, and/or edge processing capabilities
• Innovative technologies for disadvantaged platforms
• Capabilities, improvements, or technologies to increase air systems operational availability and or decrease air platform life cycle cost
• Roll on or bolt on capability enhancements to existing manned and unmanned systems.
