--DAAB15-00-C-1021, Hidden Markov Model Algorithm

The US Army Communications-Electronic Command Acquisition Center in Washington plans to modify an existing contract (DAAB15-00-C-1021) with the University of Missouri to extend the contract period by an additional 12 months. This modification also includes a contract value increase of $400,000, authorized under U.S.C. 10.2304(c)(1). The contract originally pertains to the development or research involving Hidden Markov Model Algorithms, supporting the efforts of the US Army's Research, Development, and Engineering Command, specifically the CERDEC Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate. This decision reflects the Army's continued investment in advancing sensor and electronic capabilities through extended collaboration with academic partners. The contract administration is managed by the Washington Office of the Department of Defense, with the acquisition center located in Alexandria, Virginia. While many logistical specifics such as the precise place of performance remain unspecified, the contractual modification underscores the ongoing priority placed on technological innovation within military sensor and vision systems.
