U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (Usasmdc) Space and Missile Defense Technical Center (SMDTC) Broad Agency Announcement for Science, Technology, and Test and Evaluation Research

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 35 and Funding Opportunity Announcement under 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200.204 (henceforth referred to as “BAA”) is to solicit research proposals for submission to the United States (U.S.) Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Space and Missile Defense Technical Center (SMDTC) for funding consideration.
The SMDTC supports the joint warfighter by providing science, technology, and test and evaluation expertise to enable warfighter dominance today and in the future. As part of the Army Science and Technology enterprise, the SMDTC contributes to the current fight and enables the next generation to prevail in conflicts to come. The SMDTC focuses on three essential tasks: executing science and technology, research and development, and test and evaluation; managing and operating the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site; and conducting space operations and space domain awareness.
The SMDTC contributes to the success of the warfighter and joint force in four major technology areas of interest: tactical responsive space and high-altitude technologies, test and evaluation, strategic weapon technologies, and hypersonic defeat.
White papers for initial concept reviews and full proposals are sought from institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and for-profit organizations (i.e., large and small businesses) for scientific research that supports the SMDTC mission and the published SMDTC research topics of interest. White papers and full proposals are expected to be for cutting-edge innovative research that could produce discoveries having a significant impact on enabling new and improved Army operational capabilities and related technologies.
In an effort to provide SMDTC's topics of interest and related information, USASMDC has published the following public webpage listing all current SMDTC research topics: https://www.smdc.army.mil/ORGANIZATION/TC/, hereafter...
