The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is offering the Physical and Networking Layer Prototype (PNLP) grant to develop advanced undersea multimodal communications. This grant is for hardware (modems, test frames) and software (novel waveforms) solutions supporting assured, optimized communication for air, surface, and subsurface systems, including manned and unmanned vehicles. ONR seeks proposals that can ingest and translate distinct communication modalities, optimizing them for the undersea environment and air-water interface. The purpose is to enhance reliable and efficient data exchange in complex maritime operations.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | All responsible sources from academia, industry and the research community worldwide may submit proposals under this BAA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Institutions (MIs) are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals; however, no portion of this BAA will be set aside for HBCUs/MIs, small businesses or other socio-economic participation. All businesses, both small and large, are encouraged to submit proposals and compete for funding consideration. Federally Funded Research & Development Centers (FFRDCs), including Department of Energy National Laboratories, are not eligible to receive awards under this BAA. However, teaming arrangements between FFRDCs and eligible principal Offerors are allowed so long as such arrangements are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC. Navy laboratories, military universities and warfare centers as well as other Department of Defense and civilian agency laboratories are also not eligible to receive awards under this BAA and should not directly submit either white papers or full proposals in response to this BAA. If any such organization is interested in one or more of the programs described herein, the organization should contact an appropriate ONR Technical POC to discuss its area of interest. University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) are eligible to submit proposals under this BAA unless precluded from doing so by their Department of Defense UARC contract. Teams are also encouraged and may submit proposals in any areas; however, Offerors must be willing to cooperate and exchange software, data and other information in an integrated program with other contractors, as well as with system integrators, selected by ONR. Disclosures of current and pending support made in this application may render an applicant ineligible for funding. Prior to award and throughout the period of performance, DoD may continue to request updated continuing and pending support information, which will be reviewed and may result in discontinuation of funding. |

| Description: |
The proposed topic will explore and exploit undersea multimodal communications paradigms for a number of air, surface, and subsurface systems. The PNLP program will pursue both hardware (modems and test frames) and software (to include novel waveforms) development to support undersea multimodal communications from both manned and unmanned vehicles. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals on technologies supporting maritime communications hardware and software technologies. This effort desires to provide assured, optimized communication between assets, both within the undersea environment, and through the air-water interface. Both hardware and software technical solutions should address the ability to ingest and translate distinct communication modalities, and optimize them for the environment in which they are presented. |
