The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program with a focus on the topic of "Context Aware Data Stream Pre-processor for Time-Sensitive Applications". The objective of this solicitation is to develop a general context aware, self-learning pre-processing solution for resolving high throughput Radio Frequency (RF) data streams across distributed systems with resource limitations. The technology advancements are required to efficiently allocate limited resources for further analysis of the highest value data in time-sensitive applications. The pre-processor should be able to determine what data should be stored, processed immediately, and how to allocate system resources accordingly. The solution should be generalizable and scalable across distributed, heterogeneous systems in the RF domain. The project will be conducted in two phases, with Phase I focusing on defining and developing a concept framework, and Phase II involving the development and validation of a prototype pre-processing solution. The Phase III will involve the integration of the pre-processor into multiple domain-specific, time-sensitive applications. The deadline for proposal submission is June 12, 2024.
