AI Contract Overview

The contract pertains to an increase in the ceiling for Contract N66001-16-C-4011, originally awarded on July 15, 2015, to support the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Defense Sciences Office (DARPA DSO). This work is conducted under the Shared Spectrum Access for Radar and Communications (SSPARC) program, which aims to enhance the joint operational capabilities of radar and communications systems by addressing spectrum congestion challenges. The program focuses on developing technologies that allow radar and communications systems to share spectrum efficiently, improving performance in complex environments and countering sophisticated electronic threats. The initial contract covered a 12-month performance period with no options, and this action seeks to augment efforts by approximately $200,000. The additional effort involves exploring covert urban communications and surveillance concepts leveraging the Tower of Babel technology architecture. The work includes analyzing potential performance for urban communications throughput and surveillance radar functions in mega-city environments, as well as developing and evaluating various deployment strategies, embedded waveforms, and processing architectures. Because this is a research and development contract, DARPA DSO could not fully predict the outcomes or the need for additional funding at the outset. The notice serves as an intent to increase the contract ceiling rather than a solicitation for new proposals, although written comments may be submitted to the designated contract specialist at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific. The contract aligns with NAICS code 541712, covering research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences.

Full Description

This is a Notice of Intent to Increase the Ceiling of Contract N66001-16-C-4011 awarded on behalf of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Defense Sciences Office (DARPA DSO) on 15 July 2015 for a performance period of 12 months with no option periods. The effort under the contract is in support of the DARPA DSO Program, Shared Spectrum Access for Radar and Communications (SSPARC) seeks to improve radar and communications joint operational capabilities through spectrum sharing. Spectrum congestion is a growing problem. It increasingly limits operational capabilities due to the increasing deployment and bandwidth of wireless communications, the use of net-centric and unmanned systems, and the need for increased flexibility in radar and communications spectrum to improve performance and to overcome sophisticated countermeasures. SSPARC seeks to develop sharing technology that enables sufficient spectrum access for radar and communications systems to accomplish their evolving missions. Under this additional effort, the contractor shall explore various concepts of operations for covert urban communications and surveillance based on the Tower of Babel technology architecture. Potential performance shall be analyzed for Urban Communications throughput and surveillance mode Radar functions in a mega-city urban environment. Potential transmit/receive deployments, embedded waveforms and processing architectures will be developed and evaluated. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541712 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). Due to the nature of Research and Development efforts, DARPA DSO could not have reasonably estimated the results and/or need for additional research under this program. This action includes a ceiling increase of approximately $200,000. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes, however, interested parties may submit comments in writing to the Contract Specialist, Mrs. Jeannette L. Perez, Code 22530, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific who may be reached by telephone at +1 (555) 000-0000 or via email to contact@example.gov. This notice will be posted for 5 days. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
