Kaiju
This is a Department of the Air Force BAA for future calls that will fund research or development work described in later call-specific statements of objectives, with eligibility restricted by the eventual call and CUI-controlled materials available on request.
⚑ BAA with future Calls; this notice does not itself request white papers or proposals · Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) attachment available only upon request from Technical POC · Federal contract instrument, so terms will be governed by later call-specific solicitation materials
This is a defense applied-research BAA centered on materials, computing, communications, and AI, with no clear social-science, risk-perception, or policy-evaluation angle in the team’s usual domains. The team might engage only peripherally if a later call had a human-factors or public-acceptance component, but as described it is not this group’s program.
