Description
The
U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center Broad
Agency Announcement (BAA) identifies scientific and
technical areas of interest for research and/or exploratory development. The
first step will be the submission of a concept paper. Offerors
that submit concept papers that are consistent with the intent of the BAA, and
are of interest to the Government will be invited to submit a proposal (step
two). Concept papers will be accepted continuously through 28 February 2020.
The BAA technical areas of interest are divided into the following groups:
A.
Combat Feeding Equipment and Systems (objectives focus on combat food service
equipment for individual and group feeding);
B.
Combat Ration Research and Development;
C.
Warfighter Systems Technologies (objectives focus on ballistic protection for
individuals, integrated protective headborne
equipment and injury diagnostic/assessment tools, modular personnel protection
equipment (MPPE) and injury diagnostic/assessment tools, chemical/biological
protection for individuals, flame and thermal protection for the individual
soldier, biotechnology, counter surveillance, body-worn interactive materials,
body-worn systems, hand held devices, and smart-lightweight electronic
components/modules for soldier protection, knowledge management and cognitive
improvement, biomechanics; materials nanotechnology; anthropometry; advanced
protection, integration technologies/system and assessment methods; warrior
performance; soldier power sources, power and data distribution management; future
warrior technology integration; technology assessment and simulation tools;
ecological approach to warfighter survivability, perception-action-cognition;
tactical medical equipment and systems; integrated sound, light and blast
management for the ears and eyes; soldier centric information portrayal and
management technologies;
D.
Expeditionary Basing, Collective Protection and Field Service Technologies
(objectives focus on research, development and unit/organization equipment);
E.
