A -- UNATTENDED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY SOL M67854-97-R-20610 DUE 033098 POC Contact Contracting Officer, Mark R. Crawford, 703-784-5822 ext 248. The United States Marine Corps's Commandant's Warfighting Laboratory (CWL) is issuing a Broad Agency Annoucement for research and development (R&D) concepts addressing areas relating to sensors that can be used to increase the battlefield situational awareness in an urban environment. The CWL desires concepts for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) deployed sensors, Sensor Payloads on UAVs or UGVs and small team deployed sensor systems. R&D proposals addressing these areas from a variety of perspectives are of interest, for example, exploration of new concepts, techniques in modeling and simulation for scenario evaluation, hardware development, feasibility analysis, system integration, performance-based return on investment analysis, as well as proof of principle and concept demonstrations. Appropriate proposed systems may be selected for transition to a Marine Expeditionary Unit for operational experimentation. In addition to the requests to the Contracting Officer, the Broad Agency Annoucement is available at http://hqmc.usmc.mil/syscomhp/default.htm. Mark R.
