- Description
- The purpose of this modification is to: (1) Incorporate the following two focus areas for FY10: Survivable Information Management and Tactical Information Management and (2) Change the FY10 recommended dates for white papers for these two topic areas only. (1) Insert the following two topic areas under I. Funding Opportunity Description: FY10 Focus Areas : Survivable Information Management Survivable systems are capable of adapting their behavior, function, and resource allocation in response to a variety of intermittent and permanent disruptions to maintain adequate levels of mission functionality. Understanding the operational range of expected deployment configurations and survivability requirements is a necessary condition to instrumenting a responsive survivable system. This task focuses on the development of operationally relevant, mission focused, deployment scenarios and survivability requirements. This task also requires the specification of an assessment framework for evaluating the efficacy of approaches to address survivability requirements within the context of varied deployment configurations. Offerors are encouraged to: • identify operational deployments for Information Management (IM) services focusing on tactical environments. • identify and describe missions and mission scenarios within tactical operational deployments that capitalize on the use of IM services. • define mission centric survivability requirements that identify and describe required levels of IM service quality and availability. • define, design and implement an assessment framework which will be used to test and assess survivability techniques in mission oriented, operationally relevant contexts. Tactical Information Management Tactical Information Management (TIM) has many of the same objectives as IM as discussed in the master BAA 10-08-RIKA announcement, but with the added focus on dismounted users, improved radio-based communications and resource constraints that aren't present in enterprise-class defense applications. Emphasis for this research will be on a series of demonstrations with feedback from real users to learn practical lessons and improve the overall system. Offerors are encouraged to focus on the exploration of techniques applicable to tactical situations for: • improving effective/reliable communications in low bandwidth (as low as 2 kbps) situations • service discovery and prioritization • TIM interfaces in a resource-constrained environment • effective management of various tactical data types in a manner that is relevant to dismounted users • effective, prioritized reach-back to federated systems in a bandwidth-aware manner Offerors are also encouraged to build upon existing IM and QOS components for this work, including the AFRL-developed Advanced Information Management System (AIMS), Marti, and Phoenix/Fawkes, in order to maximize productivity for the research, and to provide maximum benefit to the Government. (2) The recommended date for submittal of FY 11 white papers for the two topic areas above is 24 June 2010. All other information remains the same.
