This grant, supported by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), funds cutting-edge research through the National Consortium for Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) Research (NCMR). MASINT is an intelligence discipline utilizing scientific advancements for foreign intelligence gathering. The NCMR, a formal consortium of laboratories, academia, and industry, serves as a dynamic forum for innovation in advanced MASINT Research and Development. This funding opportunity aims to sustain critical intellectual capital within the Intelligence Community. Proposed research should focus on remote assessment of missile characteristics; detection of nuclear and radiological weapons; and detection of directed energy weapons, including lasers, high-powered microwave, and electromagnetic pulse technologies.

| Description: | Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) is an intelligence Discipline that employs abroad range of scientific developments to gather foreign intelligence. MASINT oversight and direction is provided by and implemented for the community by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Directorate for MASINT and Technical Collections (DIA/DT). The National Consortium for MASINT Research (NCMR) as the focal point for MASINT innovation provides cutting-edge MASINT research for the Intelligence Community (IC). A formal consortium of laboratories, academia, and industry forms the core of the advanced MASINT Research and Development (R&D) program and creates a dynamic forum for diverse research partners to the benefit of MASINT. Through the NCMR, DIA investments supported by Congress converge around the National Intelligence Priority Framework, sustaining the intellectual capital needed to continue technical advances in the IC. FY13 Program: Offerors are invited to present related work, on-going research activities and proposed future activities associated with the following areas: A. Remote assessment of missile performance characteristics such as location, thrust, throw weight, warhead accuracy, defensive capabilities, etc. B. Remote assessment and detection of weapons of mass destruction, specifically nuclear and radiological weapons. Chemical and biological weapons are not included this year. C. Remote assessment and detection of directed energy weapons. This would include all lasers that are primarily designed as weapons as well as high-powered microwave (HPM) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons. |
