What the grant funds
***Answers posted on 8 March 2024 in response to questions received regarding the Special Notice. The Q&A document can be found in the Related Documents folder along with the Special Notice.*** The aim of this Special Notice under the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) (W911NF-23-S-0001) as amended, under Grants.gov Opportunity W911NF-23-S-0001-SPECIALNOTICE-Distributed Analytics in Tactical Networks, is to solicit proposals related to the ARL BAA Topic, “Networking Structure, Dynamics, and Protocols”. The future battlefield will be increasingly complex (dynamics, scale, heterogeneity, peer adversaries) and resource constrained (bandwidth, storage, memory, computing power). This complex network must support multiple conflicting demands and must support distributed analytics at the edge. The Army is interested in collaborating with an awardee on research efforts to further develop adaptive, goal-driven, semantically-aware, distributed analytics for situational understanding at the tactical edge. Proposals are expected to focus on one of the research goals and to identify possible linkages to the other research goals. SEE ATTACHMENT FOR DETAILS.
