Description
1. INTRODUCTION The Microsystems Technology Office?s (MTO) mission is to exploit breakthroughs in materials, devices, circuits, and mathematics to develop beyond leading edge Microsystems components with revolutionary performance and functionality to enable new platform capability for the Department of Defense. To execute this mission, MTO supports revolutionary research in electronics, photonics, MEMS, algorithms, and combined Microsystems technology to deliver new capabilities to sense, communicate, energize, actuate, and process data and information for the war fighter. 1.1 TECHNICAL TOPIC AREAS MTO regularly publishes Broad Agency Announcements requesting responses to specific program topics. This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not being addressed by ongoing MTO programs or other published BAA solicitations. This BAA is primarily, but not solely, intended for early stage research that will lead to larger, focused, MTO programs in the future. Potential bidders are highly encouraged to review the current MTO programs listed on the MTO website at: http://www.darpa.mil/mto/radprograms.html and other MTO solicitations list at: http://www.darpa.mil/mto/solicitations/index.html to avoid proposing efforts to this BAA that duplicate existing activities or that are responsive to other published MTO BAA?s. Contacting MTO program managers to discuss research interests is also encouraged. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. Research areas of current interest in MTO, include, but are not limited to: 1.Low power, high performance digital and analog data processing 2.Novel electronic and photonic device demonstrations 3.Novel semiconductor materials enabling new device concepts or capabilities 4.Nanophotonics and nanoelectronic device and circuit demonstrations 5.Power Electronics 6.RF technology 7.Biological and chemical sensors 8.Quantum information science and technology 9.Chip scale navigation, timing, and control 10.Three dimensional digital, rf, and imaging technologies 11.Integrated chip-scale photonics 12.Micro-scale power generation, control, and conversion 13.Infrared and ultraviolet detectors and imagers 14.Terahertz technology 15.Optical communication technology 16.Analog-to-digital conversion 17.Co-optimization of hardware and algorithms 18.Novel complex circuit design technology 19.Trusted design and hardware technology 20.Microsystems addressing challenges in complex systems architectures 21.Scaling of macro-systems to micro and nano-scale 22.Micro and NanoElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS and NEMS) 2. PROPOSAL EVALUATION The criteria to be used to evaluate and select proposals for this project are described in the following paragraphs. The criteria to be used to evaluate and select offers under this BAA are, in order of descending importance: (a) Overall Scientific and Technical Merit; (b) Proposer?s Capabilities and/or Related Experience; (c) Realism of Proposed Schedule. (d) Potential Contribution and Relevance to the DARPA Mission; (e) Plans and Capability to Accomplish Technology Transition; and (f) Cost Reasonableness and Realism; each proposal will be evaluated on its own merit and relevance rather than against other proposals in the same general area, since no common work statement exists. Proposals may be evaluated as they are received, or they may be collected and periodically reviewed. Details regarding the white paper and proposal preparation and submission, and other administrative details, are found in the attached Proposer Information Pamphlet (PIP). NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (16-JAN-2007). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 26-MAR-2008, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
