What the grant funds

This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas, and technology demonstrators that offer potential for advancement and improvement of NSWC Crane’s primary mission areas. NSWC Crane is a field activity of the Naval Sea Systems Command. NSWC Crane supports a wide range of government agencies in the interest of national security. NSWC Crane may publish BAAs and other solicitations in response to specific needs. This BAA is issued to seek innovative solutions and ideas for topics not covered via other means. It is strongly encouraged that potential proposers review existing NSWC Crane solicitations to avoid duplication of effort and to contact the identified points of contact for each BAA topic to discuss specific details of the needs. The mission of NSWC Crane is to provide research, development, test and evaluation, acquisition engineering, in-service engineering and technical support in its assigned technical capabilities for the United States Navy, Department of Defense components and agencies, and other federal agencies and components engaged in national security. NSWC Crane also works to apply component and system-level product and industrial engineering to surface sensors, strategic systems, special warfare devices and electronic warfare systems, as well as to execute other responsibilities as assigned by the Commander, Naval Surface Warfare Center. The focus of NSWC Crane is “Harnessing the Power of Technology for the Warfighter.” Crane specializes in total lifecycle support in three broad focus areas: Expeditionary Warfare, Strategic Missions, and Electronic Warfare, which support ten assigned technical capabilities (TCs) listed below. 1. Electronic Warfare (EW) 2. Infrared and Pyrotechnic Countermeasures 3. Strategic Systems Hardware 4. Expeditionary Warfare and Systems 5. Advanced Electronics 6. Sensors and Surveillance Systems 7. Hypersonic Weapon Systems 8. Power and Energy Systems 9. Electro-optic and Infrared Technologies 10.Force level EW Mission Analysis, Advanced Concepts and Technologies Within each of the TCs, there are multiple thrust areas, which present considerable opportunities for innovative research and solutions to support national security imperatives. There is intentional overlapping space within the listed TC such that a potential technology or research idea may support multiple TCs. Any proposal should list the principal TC as well as any adjunct TCs that should be considered.
