The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is seeking innovative proposals to address hard GEOINT problems in the areas of foundational GEOINT, advanced phenomenologies, and analytic technologies. The agency is accepting abstracts and proposals in response to specific topic calls, with awards ranging from procurement contracts to grants and cooperative agreements. Eligible applicants include all responsible sources capable of meeting the government's needs, and foreign participation may be allowed depending on the topic call.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has released a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeking innovative concepts to address GEOINT (Geospatial-Intelligence) problems. The BAA is divided into three technical domains of interest: Foundational GEOINT, Advanced Phenomenologies, and Analytic Technologies. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific/technical merit and adherence to the BAA requirements.
The document provides information about a research project on Geospatial-Intelligence Foundational Model (GFM). The project aims to develop a neural network model capable of ingesting various types of geospatial data to answer specific geospatial questions accurately and with high confidence. The project has a base period and three option periods for optimization, component integration, and relevant environment testing.
The government plans to make one award, but may make multiple awards or none depending on the quality of the proposals received, the availability of funds, and the proven value of the capabilities developed in subsequent years. The estimated budget range for one award is $2.8 - $4.0 million over a period of 12 months. The research topic focuses on developing a Geospatial-Intelligence Foundational Model (GFM) that can answer specific geospatial questions with accuracy and precision, while demonstrating a proof of concept sufficient for further development.
The government is seeking proposals to develop an enhanced VLBI+G signal chain capability for detecting emissions from GNSS satellites and distant quasars. The project will involve designing, building, calibrating, and testing the signal chain system in a Calian 12-meter radio telescope. The base period is estimated to be 21 months with an option period of 6 months.
This document is a topic call for the development of a Very Long Baseline Interferometry with Global Navigational Satellite Systems (VLBI+G) signal chain capability. The objective is to design and build a system that can collect observations in support of the Terrestrial Reference Frame and Earth Orientation Parameters. The estimated budget for the project is up to $4 million, and the performance metrics include specific requirements for antenna feed, sensitivity, and observing bands.
