The Directorate develops and transitions technologies in four core technical competencies: lasers systems, high power electromagnetics, weapons modeling and simulation, and directed energy and electro-optics for space superiority. AFRL/RDS is seeking new methods for overcoming space object observing constraints. The goal of the Technical Applications for Optical Space Situational Awareness (TAOS) BAA is to acquire Research & Development (R&D) to advance adaptive optics capabilities for daytime and all-season performance. This BAA will also advance R&D in orbital mechanics, machine learning, and advanced atmospheric turbulence characterization and forecasting with a goal of enabling more effective space object observational planning tools. GENERAL INFORMATION: This BAA is issued pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 6.102(d)(2) - Use of Competitive Procedures, which provides for the competitive selection of research proposals. Proposals submitted in response to this BAA and selected for award are considered to be the result of full and open competition and in full compliance with the provisions of PL 98-369, the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) of 1984.
