U.S. ARMY SPACE AND MISSILE DEFENSE COMMAND (USASMDC) SPACE AND MISSILE DEFENSE TECHNICAL CENTER (SMDTC) BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND TEST AND EVALUATION RESEARCH
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 35 and Funding Opportunity Announcement under 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200.204 (henceforth referred to as “BAA”) is to solicit research proposals for submission to the United States (U.S.) Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Space and Missile Defense Technical Center (SMDTC) for funding consideration. The SMDTC supports the joint warfighter by providing science, technology, and test and evaluation expertise to enable warfighter dominance today and in the future. As part of the Army Science and Technology enterprise, the SMDTC contributes to the current fight and enables the next generation to prevail in conflicts to come. The SMDTC focuses on three essential tasks: executing science and technology, research and development, and test and evaluation; managing and operating the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site; and conducting space operations and space domain awareness. The SMDTC contributes to the success of the warfighter and joint force in four major technology areas of interest: tactical responsive space and high-altitude technologies, test and evaluation, strategic weapon technologies, and hypersonic defeat. White papers for initial concept reviews and full proposals are sought from institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and for-profit organizations (i.e., large and small businesses) for scientific research that supports the SMDTC mission and the published SMDTC research topics of interest. White papers and full proposals are expected to be for cutting-edge innovative research that could produce discoveries having a significant impact on enabling new and improved Army operational capabilities and related technologies. In an effort to provide SMDTC's topics of interest and related information, USASMDC has published the following public webpage listing all current SMDTC research topics: https://www.smdc.army.mil/ORGANIZATION/TC/, hereafter referenced as the SMDTC webpage. Changes to these topics will be made using this website on an as-needed basis. A change to SMDTC’s published BAA topics is not an amendment to this BAA and will not be posted on https://www.grants.gov/ and https://www.SAM.gov/. A change to this document (i.e., the BAA itself) will be considered an amendment and will be posted on https://www.grants.gov/ and https://www.SAM.gov/. Interested parties are encouraged to continually browse the SMDTC BAA topics for white paper and proposal topics that SMDTC desires to explore. These specific topicsshould be viewed as suggestive, rather than limiting. SMDTC is always interested in considering other innovative research concepts of relevance to the Army if those concepts align with SMDTC's mission. Interested parties should also review https://www.grants.gov/ and https://www.SAM.gov/ to obtain the latest version of the BAA for white paper and proposal submission requirements. To conserve valuable applicant and Government resources, and to facilitate determining whether a proposed research idea meets the guidelines described herein, prospective applicants contemplating submission of a white paper are strongly encouraged to contact the ACC-RSA SMD/SP POCs identified on Section V of this BAA, who will provide an SMDTC Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) to first discuss the concept. The TPOCs’ names and contact information will be provided to the prospective applicant by the ACC-RSA SMD/SP POC. After initial contact with an SMDTC TPOC, if an applicant elects to submit a white paper (Step 1), it should be prepared in accordance with the instructions contained in this BAA. Upon receipt, the white paper will be reviewed by the SMDTC TPOC and a recommendation will be provided to the applicant with either “encouraged to submit a proposal” or “not encouraged to submit a proposal” based on the review and availability of funding. Proposal submission (Step 2) should also be prepared in accordance with the instructions contained in this BAA. Note that a recommendation by the government for proposal submittal does not guarantee award or obligate the government for proposal cost. The proposal submission guidelines differ for each legal instrument; therefore, applicants are advised to follow the specific applicable guidelines listed in this BAA for the type of instrument they are proposing. This BAA provides submission guidelines for proposals for FAR-based procurement contracts, as well as assistance instruments and other transactions. Upon review of a proposal, the Government will advise applicants on the most appropriate instrument for the proposed work. In accordance with federal statutes, regulations, and Department of Defense (DoD) and Army policies, no person on grounds of race, color, age, sex, national origin, or disability shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving financial assistance from the Army.

Logistics Technology Research (LTR) Program
The Logistics Technology Research (LTR) Program is exploring the application of emergent technologies and commercial or other innovative business practices to develop new capabilities and improved Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) processes to sustain Department of Defense (DOD) weapon systems. LTR seeks to develop and demonstrate capabilities with beneficial application across one or more DLA Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs) or HQ Process Owners. LTR is a DLA-sponsored logistics R&D program with a mission to conduct research and development projects to provide improved capabilities and methods for delivery of parts and services to DLA’s customers. Problems addressed by LTR are usually, although not always, associated with DLA management of weapon system parts in Supply Class IX, although the R&D solutions can be deployed to additional areas of DLA’s business processes. LTR projects address problems faced by the Troop Support, Aviation, and Land and Maritime MSCs and several DLA Headquarters Process Owners. Offerors are encouraged to propose innovative solutions within the scope of the LTR. Equal consideration will be given to all approaches that enable improved processes aligning with the DOD and DLA Director’s Strategic Initiatives.
