The Air Force Research Laboratory is seeking white papers under an open, two-step Broad Agency Announcement for research, development, integration, test, and evaluation in extreme computing areas such as computational diversity/efficient architectures, ML/AI in embedded systems, edge computing, nanocomputing, space computing, and robust algorithms/applications. Initial submissions are white papers only, with formal proposals by invitation, and multiple awards are anticipated using procurement contracts, grants/cooperative agreements, or other transactions, with potential follow-on production. Estimated total funding is approximately $497.9M; individual awards normally range from $1M to $3M and generally do not exceed 36 months, though awards up to $99.9M are possible. Work is associated with AFRL’s Rome Research Site in Rome, NY.
