Synopsis: The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is looking for proposed research and development solutions under the ARL Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) W911NF-23-S-0001 for Basic and Applied Scientific Research topic Network Sciences, “Autonomous Sensing and Information Fusion for Advanced Indications and Warnings” (ARL-BAA-0064) 1. The Topic for this Special Notice is “Call for literature review on information architectures in sensor networks for decision making in coalition operations”, and funding for the award is expected to be provided by both the U.S. Army and the U.K. Ministry of Defence (MOD), hereafter “Governments”. Upon receipt, the Governments will review compliant proposals through a technical and programmatic review process in accordance with the evaluation criteria referenced in the ARL BAA to determine which proposal may be awarded a Grant under this topic.
The Governments reserve the right to cancel this special notice without award for any reason or for no reason. Issuance of this notice does not commit the Governments to pay for any preparation costs incurred in compiling a response. As a general matter, all requirements referenced in BAA W911NF-23-S-0001 apply to this effort.
The Governments intend to award one grant to support a literature review on information architectures in sensor networks for decision making in coalition operations outlined in the project description below. Proposals should include an overview of the focus, themes, and scope of the planned literature review, and highlight the team members and the specific strengths that each brings to the effort. Proposal should include no more than five pages of technical content (in addition to required attachments)
This research aligns with the main objectives and complements the research in the U.S. /U.K. Project Arrangement concerning Distributed Analytics and Information Sciences – International Technology Alliance 2, and the U.S. DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory’s “Internet of Battlefield Things”
