Description
The Air Force Research Laboratory's Rapid Advanced Capability Transition (ReACT) Multiple Authority Announcement (MAA) aims to provide a comprehensive strategy for the laboratory's range of Science and Technology (S&T) by creating an announcement that allows for progression from basic research to technology maturation and transition. The MAA may utilize Calls for Proposal and/or Open Period solicitations to enable study efforts on novel concepts, as well as R&D to mature technologies and conduct integrated demonstrations, experimentation, and eventual transition of technology to mission partners. Key areas of focus include:
* Basic, applied, and advanced research projects
* Prototype projects directly relevant to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel or improving platforms, systems, components, or materials
* Procurement for experimental purposes to acquire quantities necessary for experimentation, technical evaluation, or assessment of operational utility
* The MAA is open to a wide range of industry partners, including small and large businesses, educational/research institutions, non-profit organizations, and non-traditional defense contractors.
