E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via e-mail., famosot@quantico.usmc.mil. The Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL) is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for research and development (R&D) concepts addressing areas relating to fires, targeting and engagement coordination that can be used to increase the battlefield situation awareness and degree of engagement effectiveness in an urban environment. Desired concepts are those which manifest the capability to provide precise, discriminate target acquisition, rapid coordination of engagements, precise delivery of fires, and accurate damage assessment. 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 transition to a Marine force for operational experimentation. The complete broad agency announcement, including specific procedures to be followed for submission of a white paper proposal, can be found at the MCWL website at http://mcwl-www.cwlmain.org. Interested parties may also request a hard copy of the BAA by submitting a request, in writing, to the contracting officer, Ms. T. Famoso, at fax number 703-784-5826. Note: This BAA notice was previously synopsized on 22 April 1997. (0342)
