Environmental Parameters and Transmission Loss Modeling Framework

The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) topic titled "Environmental Parameters and Transmission Loss Modeling Framework." The objective is to develop a modular software framework that integrates environmental data ingestion, geospatial machine learning, sediment physics models, and acoustic simulations to assess transmission and bottom loss, particularly in support of anti-submarine warfare (ASW). This initiative is critical for enhancing the Navy's capabilities in producing and evaluating acoustic information databases, addressing both forward and inverse problems in acoustic modeling. Interested parties must submit their proposals by May 21, 2025, with the opportunity to work on classified aspects of the project in later phases.
