CONCISE SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT: The Information Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RI), Rome Research Site, is soliciting white papers under this broad agency announcement (BAA) for innovative technologies that digitize operational collaboration for military operations. The CHEMISTRI program is divided into three technical areas (TAs). Offerors may bid on any technical area individually or any combination of technical areas thereof. Offerors who include multiple technical areas in their proposal should describe the work for each technical area separately and clearly identify the applicable TAs. Proposers should indicate their strategy for integration of components developed in other TAs when applicable. The three technical areas are as follows: ��������� TA1: Machine Learning (ML) Instrumentation, Sensing, & Data Collection� ����������TA2: Mobile Machine Learning Ecosystem Infrastructure ��������� TA3: Mobile Machine Learning Algorithms and Application to Security Forces (SF), Isolated Personnel (IP), and Airfield Operations BAA ESTIMATED FUNDING: Total funding for this BAA is approximately $49.9M. Individual awards will not normally exceed 18 months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $100K to $8M.
