Description

This solicitation from the Missile Defense Agency seeks proposals for rigorous statistical analysis of long-term radiation trends and their impact on Department of War and space systems. The goal is to reduce or justify the need for costly radiation testing by analyzing historical radiation data from various sources including archived space-based measurements, ground-based testing facilities, and legacy test failure data. The analysis should focus on trend identification, correlation studies, predictive modeling, and uncertainty quantification related to radiation effects on microelectronics. Proposers are expected to conduct their analysis using open literature data without data provided by the agency.
