ONR's Long Range BAA is the standing front door to Navy and Marine Corps science and technology funding, and it is the vehicle most AI and autonomy researchers should be using rather than waiting for a topic-specific call.
It accepts proposals on a rolling basis - the FY25 announcement, N00014-25-S-B001, runs through 30 September 2026 at 2:00 PM EST - and covers the full ONR portfolio, with AI-relevant priorities concentrated in autonomous maritime systems, human-machine teaming, and machine learning for sensor fusion and decision support.
ONR's 2026 science and technology strategy tied programs to explicit transition paths, which changes what a competitive proposal looks like: the naval-unique problem underneath the AI method now has to be legible, and a general-purpose ML advance with a thin naval framing reads poorly.
Firms with commercially mature AI, autonomy or sensing products are often better served by acquisition and rapid-fielding vehicles, reserving LRBAA proposals for genuine research questions.
Practically, the process runs white paper first then full proposal on invitation, and identifying the right ONR program officer before writing anything is the single highest-leverage step - the BAA lists technical points of contact by division and proposals that arrive without prior program officer contact rarely advance. Seven amendments to the FY25 BAA were issued, so working from the current amended document matters.

Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis under N00014-25-S-B001 through 30 September 2026, 2:00 PM EST. ONR uses standardized technical and cost proposal templates that must be downloaded from the ONR funding opportunity page, and organizational conflict of interest rules apply. Award amounts and periods of performance vary by technology area and technical approach; ONR does not publish a fixed range. The strongly recommended sequence is to contact the relevant ONR program officer and submit a white paper before investing in a full proposal, since unsolicited full proposals without program officer interest are unlikely to be funded. Seven amendments (0001 through 0007) were issued against the FY25 BAA and the current amended text governs. A separate spreadsheet of companies interested in subcontracting opportunities is posted alongside the BAA. Applicants must verify the current fiscal year BAA number, forms, closing date and technical point of contact on the ONR site before submitting, since ONR reissues this announcement annually. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows ONR does not publish a fixed award range for the Long Range BAA; the announcement states that the funded amount and period of performance of each selected proposal vary by technology area and technical approach. amount_min of 100,000 and amount_max of 1,500,000 are estimates of the typical single-award band for ONR basic and applied research grants under this vehicle and are not published figures - ONR's own AI-for-the-naval-domain basic research opportunities have run at roughly USD 500,000 per year over 3 years, which anchors the upper estimate. Applicants should treat the budget as negotiated against the technical approach rather than proposed against a published ceiling. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.

The Department of the Navy pre-released FY26 Release 3 SBIR/STTR on June 3, 2026 — 12 BAA topics and one Commercial Solutions Opening for Counter-Unmanned Air Systems. Topics span adaptive sensor management, anomalous behavior detection, satellite imagery optimization, real-time zero-trust data for combat systems, and gun weapon systems modernization. Technical questions cut off June 23. Proposals open June 24 and close July 22. NAVAIR and NAVSEA co-host a Counter-UAS webinar June 16. Phase I funding tops out at $315,000. The CSO open topic for AI-powered drone defense is the structural news: it's the first time NAVAIR has used a CSO vehicle to fund counter-drone work outside the conventional Phase I/II structure, and it changes how small businesses can engage with the Navy's most urgent capability gap.
Read articleNOFO N0001426SF004 offers roughly 25 awards at $750,000 over 36 months to first- and second-appointment faculty. No cost share, no white paper stage — and an eligibility clock that admits PhDs earned on or after January 1, 2019 and nobody earlier. The program officer conversation, not the proposal, is the part most applicants get wrong.
