Description

This BAA announces an opportunity for research in optical and Radio Frequency (RF) communications to provide a high data rate gateway network capability to warfighters. This includes airborne nodes; on-the-move (OTM) and on-the-halt (OTH) ground vehicles; and Global Information Grid (GIG) Points of Presence. In this capability, the ground vehicles will act as stub networks. To ensure technical maturity of what is being developed, there will be a series of demonstrations and experiments throughout this effort. The program duration and funding recommendations will be provided by the proposers in their submission. The proposer is encouraged to outline the least possible time and funding to complete these tasks. No information on expected timeline or funding will be provided in this BAA.
