USAFA’s Dean of Faculty Research Office is announcing to business and academia the intent to solicit white papers/proposals for USAFA research efforts through this BAA.

Due Date: **Rolling basis: April 22, 2021**
Description: This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not being addressed by ongoing BTO programs or other published solicitations. HR001120S0044, Biological Technologies: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Biological Technologies Office (BTO).

Due Date: September 30, 2021
Description: The Command Decision Making program (CDM) is advancing cognitive theory and computational modeling to create decision support tools for warfighters that are mission and task sensitive, and therefore proactive in providing relevant information at appropriate times.

Due Date: September 30, 2021
Description: The aim of Bio-Inspired Autonomous Systems is to extract principles of sensorimotor control, biomechanics, and fluid dynamics of underwater propulsion and control in aquatic and amphibious animals that underlie the agility, stealth, efficiency and sensory adaptations of these animals.

SUSPENSE DATE: 30 September 2021.
The Expeditionary Cyber program aims to provide the Marines, SOCOM, and Expeditionary Navy customers with state-of-the-art solutions to both defend assets and defeat adversaries within the cyberspace domain. Traditional cyber solutions have focused on enterprise infrastructures, oftentimes housed in permanent, secured facilities. Advanced solutions have migrated to mobile commercial platforms but do not always take into account mobilized, active adversaries—nor environments with disruptive, intermittent, and latent communications.

SUSPENSE DATE: 30 September 2021.
Description: Human Interaction with Autonomous Systems. ​​​​​​​The Human Interaction with Autonomous Systems program aims to create cognitively-compatible intelligent autonomous systems and robots that could serve as teammates with humans, enabling peer-to-peer collaboration among humans, robots, intelligent agents, and autonomous systems. Such systems would reduce the cognitive burdens of interfaces with intelligent autonomous systems, enable supervisory control and human training of robots and autonomous systems.

SUSPENSE DATE: 30 September 2021
Description: The aim of Bio-Inspired Autonomous Systems is to extract principles of sensorimotor control, biomechanics, and fluid dynamics of underwater propulsion and control in aquatic and amphibious animals that underlie the agility, stealth, efficiency, and sensory adaptations of these animals. The principles that emerge from this interdisciplinary research are formalized and explored in advanced prototypes. This program aims to expand the operational envelope of Navy underwater and amphibious vehicles and enable enhanced underwater manipulation.
