- Description
- The purpose of this modification is to: (1) Delete the first paragraph in its entirety and replace with the following: “The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), on behalf of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), will be hosting an Industry Day prior to soliciting proposals for innovative, creative, and high-risk research to advance the state-of-the-art in technologies and methods for the Analysis WorkSpace for Exploitation (A-SpaceX) program. The proposed BAA will address Phase 1 of what is being conceived as a multi- phase program. A Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is anticipated to be released following the Industry day, which will provide more details into this program. Phase 1 is anticipated to be a multi-million dollar program which will focus on conducting critical research and development of key technologies. Phase 1 has an expected performance period of up to 18 months. Successful completion of Phase 1 milestones and metrics, which will be specified in the BAA, will lead to Phase 2, which will focus on developing integrated systems.. The BAA will initially request white papers generally describing a performer’s area of interests and proposed work. White papers will be reviewed and feedback provided prior to the submission of full proposals. Separate white papers may be submitted for different thrust areas. Formal proposals will be reviewed by a selection committee. Actual awards may be determined based on formal proposals, and concurrence of IARPA management. We anticipate initial contract awards will be made by the first quarter of CY2009.” (2) Delete the following paragraph in its entirety: “A-SpaceX MindSnaps will address the analyst’s dilemma of too much information and inadequate tools to deal with it. MindSnaps are envisioned as a tool to provide analysts the ability to cut through the opaque information space, discover what is important, store it for future analysis, and recall/reload it later as needed with changes highlighted. MindSnaps are enablers to help analysts make information associations and build upon them to test hypothesis and recognize increasingly complex patterns of relationships that may have significance to the intelligence community.” No other changes have been made.
