MDA SBIR: Configurable Operator Decision Models for Missile-Defense Simulations

**Buyer:** Missile Defense Agency (MDA)
**Posted:** November 04, 2026
**Respond By:** January 06, 2027
**Identifier:** MDA27BZ02-DV009
**NAICS:** 541511, 541512, 541715

The Missile Defense Agency is seeking a Direct-to-Phase-II prototype for configurable operator decision models in missile-defense simulations.
- **Government buyer:** Department of War, Missile Defense Agency (MDA), MDA SBIR/STTR Program Management Office.
- **Opportunity:** SBIR research and development for Configurable Operator Decision Models for Constructive Test and Evaluation Simulations (MDA27BZ02-DV009). Phase II work is expected to develop and demonstrate a Phase I concept through prototyping and testing.
- **Requested solution:** A modular, government-configurable software prototype that represents operator decision effects in constructive simulations. It should support repeatable scenarios, decision traces and outcome analysis, explainability, validation, and uncertainty analysis.
- **Deliverables and requirements:** Demonstrations, prototype software or an executable evaluation package, technical and user documentation, cybersecurity and data-rights materials, validation evidence, and a Phase III transition plan. CMMC Level 2 (Self) is specified; classified proposals are not accepted, and export-control restrictions apply.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No OEMs, commercial vendors, or specific commercial products are named. No hardware purchases or quantities are specified for the DV009 topic.
- **Period and funding context:** Phase II is anticipated to last 24 months. The umbrella BAA states a Phase II cost limit of $2,000,000, or $2,030,000 with TABA; a topic-specific award amount is not provided.
- **Other topics in the umbrella BAA attachment:** It also lists nine separate topics—infrared seekers, aerial interdiction clusters, RF communications, hypersonic observables, sea-based launch platforms, solid rocket motors, booster insulation, Kubernetes virtualization, and defense AI transfer learning. These are not the requested DV009 solution.
