The U.S. Navy, through the Office of Naval Research (ONR), seeks SBIR research proposals to create realistic imagery quickly for maritime training.
- **Government buyer:** Department of War Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program; U.S. Navy; ONR.
- **Requested capability:** Develop a way to modify historic, geo-rectified satellite imagery to show a scenario-specific order of battle for imagery-analysis training.
- **Performance goal:** Produce realistic National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) imagery in 10 minutes or less. Initial work focuses on electro-optical imagery and assesses feasibility for infrared and synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
- **Phase I:** Develop the concept, assess technical feasibility, modify a single image, and define a demonstration standard. Phase II is expected to produce a SIPRNet prototype that selects a site by BE number and creates imagery with a requested order of battle; a transition plan is also required.
- **Security and transition considerations:** ITAR/EAR restrictions and potentially classified work apply. U.S. ownership, facility clearance, and personnel clearance requirements are stated; CMMC Level 2 (Self) is specified. Potential transition users include NGA, NAVIFOR, CIWT, carrier strike groups, tactical training groups, and NSWC Corona.
- **OEMs, vendors, quantities, and part numbers:** None are identified. No hardware line items are specified.
