This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas, and technology demonstrators that offer potential for advancement and improvement of NSWC Crane’s primary mission areas.NSWC Crane is a field activity of the Naval Sea Systems Command. NSWC Crane supports a wide range of government agencies in the interest of national security. NSWC Crane may publish BAAs and other solicitations in response to specific needs. This BAA is issued to seek innovative solutions and ideas for topics not covered via other means. It is strongly encouraged that potential proposers review existing NSWC Crane solicitations to avoid duplication of effort and to contact the identified points of contact for each BAA topic to discuss specific details of the needs.The mission of NSWC Crane is to provide research, development, test and evaluation, acquisition engineering, in-service engineering and technical support in its assigned technical capabilities for the United States Navy, Department of Defense components and agencies, and other federal agencies and components engaged in national security. NSWC Crane also works to apply component and system-level product and industrial engineering to surface sensors, strategic systems, special warfare devices and electronic warfare systems, as well as to execute other responsibilities as assigned by the Commander, Naval Surface Warfare Center.The focus of NSWC Crane is “Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter.” Crane specializes in total lifecycle support in three broad focus areas: Expeditionary Warfare, Strategic Missions, and Electronic Warfare, which support ten assigned technical capabilities (TCs) listed below.1. Electronic Warfare (EW)2. Infrared and Pyrotechnic Countermeasures3. Strategic Systems Hardware4. Expeditionary Warfare and Systems5. Advanced Electronics6. Sensors and Surveillance Systems7. Hypersonic Weapon Systems8. Power and Energy Systems9. Electro-optic and Infrared Technologies10.Force level EW Mission Analysis, Advanced Concepts and TechnologiesWithin each of the TCs, there are multiple thrust areas, which present considerable opportunities for innovative research and solutions to support national security imperatives. There is intentional overlapping space within the listed TC such that a potential technology or research idea may support multiple TCs. Any proposal should list the principal TC as well as any adjunct TCs that should be considered. Proposals that support multiple TCs are strongly desired but not necessary.

The JAMS IPT is seeking wide-ranging Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) technologies at Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 3 and higher, for accelerated development in relation to modern missile threat systems.OverviewGlobal advancement and the pace of adversary missile threat-system development highlights an immediate need to improve U.S. airborne asset protection and survivability, against current and future threats.The JAMS IPT is a joint working group focused on defensive air survivability against modern air threats that are stressing ASE on current and future air platforms. The mission of JAMS is to maintain a warfighting advantage, by identifying, evaluating, and rapidly deploying innovative solutions for U.S. aircraft in emergent operational Areas of Responsibility (AORs), seizing upon opportunities that will benefit the services across the DoD. There is a strong desire within the ASE community to share costs and provide common solutions across platforms as much as possible.While most are familiar with red kill chains, there is a corollary for blue ASE protection. The JAMS IPT is broadly looking for technologies in the ASE protection chain, including:Threat Detection: Sensing and identifying a threat;Fix: Geo-location and threat avoidance;Signature: Tactics and procedures to reduce signatures but also equipment that can modify or alter an aircraft’s signature;Defeat: This includes traditional jammers, expendables, towed decoys but also new solutions launched from the aircraft or escort aircraft to degrade, seduce or confuse a threat; andAssess: The ability to evaluate the effects of avoidance, signature management or defeat.However, beyond these protection capabilities, are enabling tools required for developing, testing and fielding solutions, particularly in Modeling and Simulation (M&S), and Test and Evaluation (T&E) activities.This announcement seeks revolutionary ideas and technology demonstrators that offer potential material solutions, M&S solutions, and T&E solutions at a TRL 3 or higher with a robust plan to achieve TRL 6. Solutions with an open architecture will be favored. A classified secret addendum with examples of stressing adversarial technologies can be requested on SIPRNET at betsy.l.marschand1@navy.smil.mil.
