STTR Opportunity Analysis

The Department of the Navy is seeking an STTR solution to modernize tropical cyclone analysis, forecasting, and dissemination with a new tactical decision aid software capability that can evolve beyond the legacy ATCF system. The work calls for a modular, containerized software suite that integrates legacy and emerging algorithms, models, databases, and APIs while supporting both back-end and front-end functions for storm analysis, forecast generation, and product dissemination. Key technical priorities include DevSecOps and RMF alignment, operation online or offline across on-premises and cloud environments, resilience to connectivity constraints, separation of core software layers, and compatibility with current and future operational systems such as ATCF, NITES-Next, and AWIPS. The topic is open under number DON26TZ01-NV010, with applications due by June 3, 2026 at 4:00 PM UTC.

AI Summary
The DON26TZ01-NV010 project seeks to modernize tropical cyclone forecasting with a new software suite, replacing the outdated ATCF system. The objective is to develop a modular, containerized application that integrates legacy and novel algorithms, models, databases, and APIs. This software will be designed to comply with DevSecOps principles and RMF processes, supporting both online and offline operations in various computing environments. Key requirements include a modern programming language, resilience to connectivity issues, separation of functionalities, and modular component development. The project envisions a dual-pronged approach, focusing on software architecture and decision support aid integration to expand forecasting capabilities beyond traditional track and intensity predictions. Phases I and II involve architectural design and prototype development, with Phase III focusing on integration, performance validation, and dual-use applications for both government and commercial entities.
