This Broad Agency Announcement invites innovative concepts to address hard GEOINT problems across three technical domains: Foundational GEOINT, Advanced Phenomenologies, and Analytic Technologies. Submissions are only accepted in response to separately published Topic Calls, not to the General Solicitation itself. [1]
Key points
Proposers must submit abstracts before a complete proposal [3]
Active Topic 7 (LASER) is open, though currently on HOLD [1]
Evaluation uses High, Some, or Low Confidence Ratings [2]
