This BAA is an extramural endeavor focused on innovative research and development (R&D) activities and related study efforts that advance technical state-of-the-art or increase knowledge and understanding of overarching challenges for countering improvised threats. The purpose of this BAA is to solicit proposals for DTRA Joint Improvised-threat Defeat Organization (JIDO) J8 Technology and Strategy Branch (TSB) program requirements. The focus of this BAA is on discovering and accelerating innovations through three broad technical approaches that contribute to JIDO overarching research, development, technology, and engineering (RDT&E) goals. RDT&E goals include analytic investigations; Innovative capability research and development; and Mission-oriented experiments. Projects funded under this BAA will be analytic investigations, capability developments and/or experiments at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 2 through 6. JIDO is interested in technologies able to reach a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 6 at the conclusion of the period of performance. This BAA is open for submission of white papers relevant to the subject technology areas from 11 January 2019 to 12 February 2019. White Papers and Questions regarding the technical and administrative content of this BAA must be sent to the following e-mail address: dtra.belvoir.jd.mbx.jd-baa@mail.mil. (No white papers will be accepted or reviewed after the closing date of 12 February 2019.) Question submission period ends at 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, 29 January 2019 (No questions will be accepted or replied after deadline). All email submissions must include the BAA number, Technology Area and Purpose (ie White Paper -or- Question) in the subject line. DTRA will post questions and answers to the FedBizOpps website (www.fbo.gov) that are relevant to all potential Offerors. It is the Offeror's responsibility to periodically check the FedBizOpps website to view postings of questions and answers, in addition to any applicable amendments to the BAA.
