ONR Summer Research Faculty Program – Navy The Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsors the Summer Faculty Research Program (SFRP) for U.S. citizens who hold teaching or research appointments at U.S. colleges and universities.

DARPA Anamoly Detection at Multiple Scales (ADAMS)Solicitation: BAA 11-04Due: Dec 9, 2010 The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is soliciting proposals for innovative research in anomaly detection at multiple scales. The proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. The general goal of the ADAMS program is to create, adapt and apply technology to the problem of anomaly characterization and detection in massive data sets. The importance of anomaly detection is due to the fact that anomalies in data translate to significant, and often critical, actionable information in a wide variety of application domains. https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=0bc61d89c791a2df077584c7fdc16a41&tab=core&_cview=0 3. vehicleforge - DARPA SOL: DARPA-BAA-11-21 DUE: 12-21-10 specified DESCRIPTION: The development of complex software systems has benefitted significantly from the ability to leverage crowd-sourced innovation in the form of open source code development. Open source software hosting sites, a key enabler to the success of this development paradigm, facilitate collaborative development, source tree maintenance, and version control while allowing participation by a large number of independent programmers. Examples include SourceForge, Google Code, and GNU Savannah. The application of open source methods to the development of electromechanical systems has been more limited. And while one can identify several successful examples, they are largely confined to the development of relatively simple products (e.g., Quirky for consumer product design), or have required significant back-end engineering effort to turn product concepts into detailed designs (e.g., Local Motors for custom cars). DARPA has launched a portfolio of programs that aims, among other objectives, to democratize the design process for complex cyber-electro-mechanical systems such as defense and aerospace vehicles. The goal is to enable large numbers of unaffiliated developers to participate in the design of militarily-relevant systems such as ground vehicles, airplanes, rotorcraft, and space systems. To that end, DARPA is soliciting proposals for the development of vehicleforge.mil, an open source hosting site for the collaborative development of these systems. The principal technical challenge associated with this capability is a general representation language that is rich enough to describe a broad range of cyber-electro-mechanical systems, yet formal enough that the system can be compiled or verified in some manner when a design change is made to some element or aspect of it. Synopsis 4. Navigation and Timekeeping Technology - Navy SOL: ONRBAA11-0004
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals for Navigation and Timekeeping Technology. In concert with the guidance promulgated by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense National Information Infrastructure (ASD - NII), concerning Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR), which deals with the mitigation of denial of Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), this effort is concerned with the first two of the three elements: Electronic Protection (EP) and Electronic Support (ES). Please note that this effort does not address Electronic Attack (EA). Precision navigation and timekeeping are essential for many modern naval and maritime systems, and it is essential that navigation and timekeeping services be made available to platforms and weapons at the highest level of accuracy and with the highest possible confidence at reasonable cost. Lack of precise navigation and timekeeping technologies may jeopardize the success of military operations. For example, the Global Positioning System (GPS) provides highly accurate position/time information at low cost and, due to this, GPS has become the technology of choice for many users. Unfortunately, the GPS signal is a low-power signal that is susceptible to interference. Therefore there is a need for (1) affordable approaches to make GPS more reliable/robust, (2) methods of quantifying threats to GPS performance that may be termed "situational awareness", and (3) affordable and reliable precision navigation/timing alternatives to GPS. https://www.fbo.gov/index?tabmode=form&subtab=step1&tabid=1f7780a9f2465c71eca7e86d07ca2316 5. Reliable Peripheral Interfaces (RPI) - DARPASolicitation: DARPA-BAA-11-08Full Proposal Due Date - December 9th, 2010. Proposer’s Day- November 8, 2010 Concise description of the funding opportunity- DARPA seeks to develop reliable in-vivo peripheral motor-signal recording and sensory-signal stimulating interfaces. Such efforts will involve design, fabrication, testing, and analysis of new materials and technologies to demonstrate substantial improvements in reliability and quantity of peripheral motor-signal information. Ultimately DARPA desires to develop clinically viable technologies, enabling wounded service members to control state of the art prosthetic limbs.
