The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is offering this grant to develop innovative thermal management systems for amphibious ship flight decks. This grant is for identifying alternatives to traditional heat pipes that can mitigate the thermal impact from aircraft exhaust plumes. Solutions are sought for both above-deck and below-deck applications, emphasizing cost-effectiveness, long service life, and high heat mitigation capacity (16,000-24,000 BTU/minute, 48,000 BTU to 2.2 MBTU total). Critical requirements include minimal thickness/weight, structural integrity, compatibility with ship operations and structures, ease of installation, and avoidance of foreign object debris. ONR plans to award up to $12.5 million over four years, with individual awards typically ranging from $200,000 to $1 million annually.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | All responsible sources from academia and industry 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 HBCU and MI participation. 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 bidders are allowed so long as they are permitted under the sponsoring agreement between the Government and the specific FFRDC. Navy laboratories 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 the ONR POC to discuss its area of interest. As with FFRDCs, these types of federal organizations may team with other responsible sources from academia and industry that are submitting proposals under this BAA. Teams are encouraged to submit proposals in any and all 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. Some the research performed in this research opportunity may lead to technologies that are export restricted. Only U.S. persons are permitted to work on such efforts due to export control restrictions on the technologies involved in this BAA. The term “U.S. persons” is defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) – 22 CFR § 120.1 et seq. |

| Description: | This research opportunity is soliciting alternatives to heat pipes for arresting the thermal impact from the exhaust plumes of new and impending aircraft on amphibious ships. Both above deck and below deck thermal management systems are being solicited. The objective is to develop systems that offer both above and below-deck options, are cost-effective to install or maintain, and last the service life of the ship. Deck thermal management systems should be capable of mitigating a heating rate of 16,000 to 24,000 BTU/minute and a total heat load capacity of 48,000 BTU to 2.2 MBTU over a time period. Critical thermal management technologies are to: spread, conduct, and/or dissipate heat with minimal thickness and minimal weight impact; comply within deck-height/flight operations constraints and horizontal configuration; carry structural load and meet survivability 4 requirements; integrate with ship structures; be installable in a shipyard environment; avoid generation of debris/products causing foreign object damage debris; and be compatible with Navy non-skid coatings. ONR anticipates making multiple contract and grant awards that total $12.5 million over a four year period, with $3 million available in FY2011, $4 million available in FY2012, $3.5 million in FY2013 and $2 million available in FY2014. The typical award amount will likely be in the range of $200,000 to $1 million per year. |
