Description

Mission Autonomy for Air and Space Systems (MASS) will be a one step, Closed BAA to develop multi-domain, multi-platform, multi-scale technologies and strategies to effectively apply closed-loop sensing, data processing, and reasoning capabilities to support sensing mission autonomy across the range of military operations. MASS delivered capabilities will enable knowledge management supporting understanding of the operating environment, including threats, allies, and neutral elements, and inform the planning, conduct, and assessment of mission effects, across multiple ISR, strike, EW and cyber missions. Technology investments under MASS must be compatible with Air Force missions for highly contested operating environments and address Architectural Agility, Mission Context Representation, Multisource Analytics, Sensing and Computational Resource Allocation, and Foundational Research as a scientific or technical basis for increasing novelty and versatility and reducing vulnerability of future transitionable sensing and knowledge management capabilities.

Background
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), specifically the Multi-Domain Sensing Autonomy Division (AFRL/RYA), is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Mission Autonomy for Air and Space Systems (MASS) program.

The goal of this contract is to develop multi-domain, multi-platform, and multi-scale technologies and strategies that enhance mission autonomy through closed-loop sensing, data processing, and reasoning capabilities. These capabilities are intended to support military operations by improving knowledge management regarding the operating environment, including threats and allies, thereby informing mission planning and execution across various military missions such as ISR, strike, electronic warfare (EW), and cyber operations.

The technologies developed must align with Air Force missions in contested environments and focus on areas such as Architectural Agility and Multisource Analytics.

Work Details
The work under this contract includes the following tasks:
1. Research and Development (R&D) of technologies that support sensing mission autonomy across military operations.
2. Development of software deliverables including tools, algorithms, source code, and executable code as determined by proposals.
3. Provision of hardware deliverables which may include computing equipment and special test equipment based on proposals.
4. Collection of data and demonstration results to validate the developed technologies.
5. Compliance with security requirements including a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information facility clearance.
6. Submission of a Security Program Plan to assess the offeror's capacity for protecting Government S&T.
7. Participation in discussions with Government representatives to clarify technical questions prior to proposal submission.

Period of Performance
The overall effort is expected to span 63 months, which includes 60 months dedicated to technical work followed by 3 months for final reporting.

Place of Performance
The specific geographic locations for performance are not detailed in the solicitation.
