Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled Electronic Warfare Technology (Funding Opportunity Number ONRBAA13 005), is issued by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) under its Electronic Warfare (EW) Discovery and Invention program (ONR Code 312EW). The core purpose is to advance science and technology research that helps U.S. naval forces, including the Navy and Marine Corps, control the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS). In practical terms, the announcement is looking for research and development that improves the ability to exploit, deceive, or deny an adversarys use of the spectrum while protecting and assuring spectrum access for friendly forces.
The technical focus areas span the major pillars of modern electronic warfare. On the Electronic Warfare Support (ES) side, ONR is interested in improved threat warning systems, as well as decoys and countermeasures designed to interfere with or mislead weapon tracking and guidance systems. On the Electronic Attack (EA) side, the opportunity emphasizes technologies that can disrupt or degrade adversary command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR). On the Electronic Protection (EP) side, the goal is to harden and protect U.S. weapons and C4ISR systems against both intentional interference (like jamming and deception) and unintentional interference (such as electromagnetic compatibility issues or spectral congestion). Overall, the intent is not just incremental improvements, but technologies that can be developed and demonstrated as building blocks for next generation EW systems.
A notable requirement in the announcement is how it treats work that builds on prior ONR or Department of Defense efforts. ONR notes it has already funded related EW technology development under numerous programs, and it expects offerors who are extending or enhancing existing projects to clearly explain the point of departure. That means proposals should separate what is already accomplished or funded elsewhere from what is genuinely new in the proposed work, and should specify what prior results, data, prototypes, or methods will be carried forward versus what new research tasks, demonstrations, or technical advances will be delivered under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA).
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and supports science and technology and other research and development activities. The listed assistance listing (CFDA) number is 12.300 for Basic and Applied Scientific Research. The funding instrument types include grants as well as other procurement contracts, indicating ONR may use different award mechanisms depending on the effort and the governments needs. Cost sharing is not required. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), though applicants are directed to consult the BAA text for any specific eligibility restrictions or clarifications.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of November 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date shown as May 7, 2013, along with a note to see the BAA for white paper due dates. The archive date is June 6, 2013. For access to the full set of ONR BAAs, the announcement points to an additional information link (a portal to all ONR BAAs). For help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Rebecca Foster, Contract Specialist, at 703 696 2972, with a separate reference to Grants.gov questions.
