Defense Research Funding Opportunities
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Sensors Directorate, Electromagnetics Technology Division (AFRL/SNH) at Hanscom AFB is soliciting proposals for basic research to advance the state-of-the-art and scientific knowledge in electromagnetics technology. The Technical Areas are: (a) Antenna Technology, (b) Electromagnetic Scattering from Targets and Terrain, (c) Optronics Components and Algorithms, (d) Image Exploitation of Infrared Cameras; and (e) Intrusion Detection. Proposals may be submitted any time through September 30, 2001. For detailed descriptions of these areas, email: zachary.white@hanscom.af.mil Additional research and business opportunities with the Electronic Systems Command can be found at: http://www.herbb.hanscom.af.mil/rfp.asp
The deadline has been extended to September 30, 2000 for interested parties to submit proposals in response to the Broad Agency Announcement for the Navy's Smart Base Project Office initiatives . The Navy's Smart Base Project is tasked to identify and test innovative, commercially available technology and better business practices to increase shore installation efficiency and reduce infrastructure costs. Selected cost-saving ideas will be demonstrated on a trial basis in real-world situations. Traditional contracting methods may be used, but the program is also interested in collaborative efforts between the government and industry. Collaboration of representatives from various segments of industry, academia and/or commerce is encouraged to provide more integrated solutions where possible.

The US Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM-Warren) has released a draft statement of work for an upcoming solicitation to support research to develop efficient computational tools for non-linear analysis of smart composites structural systems with embedded smart layers. The project is designed to develop analytical and finite element analysis procedures for the stress and vibration response of laminated composite plate structures accounting for the linear and non-linear response. TACOM plans to issue a three-year (base plus two option years) firm fixed price level of effort term contract for a total price of approximately $75,000. The estimated release date is September 15.
