SBIR / STTR #MDA27BZ02-DV004

MDA Hypersonic UV/Visible/near-IR Signature Modeling — Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR

The Missile Defense Agency is seeking a small-business team to model the optical and near-infrared signatures of dim hypersonic vehicles for missile-defense applications. - Government buyer: Missile Defense Agency (MDA), Department of War; MDA SBIR/STTR Program Management Office. - Opportunity: Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR research and development, topic MDA27BZ02-DV004. - Requested effort: Develop UV, visible, and near-IR at-source observable prediction models for dim hypersonic configurations, including aerothermal effects, ablation, chemical kinetics, non-equilibrium effects, and radiative emission across flight regimes. - Integrate with the JANNAF Plume/Wake/Hypersonic Flowfield and Hardbody Signature Prediction Suite. - Demonstrate use in missile-defense simulation workflows and relevant scene generators, such as FLITES, and identify measured data for validation. - Deliver executable software and source code, databases, makefiles, example input/output files, and technical and user manuals. - OEMs and vendors: No commercial OEMs or vendors are named. JANNAF and FLITES are referenced as technical tools or systems, not as identified vendors. - Quantities and part numbers: No product quantities are specified; MDA27BZ02-DV004 is the topic identifier, not a product part number. - Notable requirements: Direct-to-Phase-II applicants must substantiate Phase I-level technical merit and feasibility and describe commercial applications. A CMMC Level 2 self-assessment is required; classified proposals are not accepted. Phase II funding is limited to $2,000,000, or $2,030,000 with TABA. - Other topics in the same BAA release: The release also lists topics MDA27BZ02-DV001 through DV003 and DV005 through DV010; these are separate efforts, not additional requirements for DV004.

Description
