- Description
- This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicits offers for the award of procurement contracts for innovative, high-risk, non-traditional Geospatial Intelligence concepts, technologies and products with a potential for high-payoff. These contracts are hereafter described as the ?Innovation Program.? The NGA expects to award up to $1 million in procurement contracts for innovative, cutting edge Geospatial Intelligence concepts, technologies and products. It is anticipated that there will be one contract awarded for $1,000,000. Based on the quality of proposals, there is a potential for awarding two contracts for $500,000 each. It is important for researchers to find opportunities for collaboration to address all aspects of this proposal. The awardee(s) will be announced during the Geospatial Intelligence Symposium 2005 to be held on October 30-November 2, 2005, in San Antonio, Texas. The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation hosts this Symposium. The Innovation BAA is requesting innovative research that will focus on enabling the processing, analysis and dissemination of enormous amounts of newly collected data each day from multiple sources. Enormous amounts of data may come from numerous sources and in several formats ? text, image, video, digital maps, audio, etc. To help analysts make efficient use of their time, NGA needs automated processes that can identify and organize contextually relevant types of data. The overall intent is to allow analysts to spend less time dealing with systems and more time analyzing data. The Innovation Program is seeking innovative approaches to improve automated filtering of data for our analysts to help mitigate challenges associated with information volume, variety and velocity. Awardees will be expected to deliver Proof of Concept demonstrations, containing only unclassified data that can be installed from CD in a generic Windows environment approximately one year after GeoInt 2006. Research proposals should address automated triage of information and data combined with an intuitive human-computer interface to facilitate the analysis process. To address the many aspects of these areas, NGA highly encourages collaboration between researchers and commercial entities. The full solicitation will be posted approximately 15 days following the original posting of this presolicitation. The Primary Point of Contact will be: Jonathan Mostowski, Contract Specialist, Phone 703-735-3900, Fax 703-735-3965, E-mail mostowsj@nga.mil.
