Opportunity Information: Apply for CRANBAA17 003
The Department of Defense, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division, solicited proposals under the opportunity titled "Systems of Systems" (Funding Opportunity Number CRANBAA17 003) to mature research in complex systems and system-of-systems (SoS) technologies. The central goal of the effort was to create or advance a system-of-systems analytic workbench, essentially a decision-support environment intended to help engineers and planners architect, evolve, and make rapid, informed decisions about interconnected defense capabilities. Rather than focusing on a single platform or standalone system, the emphasis is on methods and tooling that can represent and analyze many interacting systems whose combined behavior and mission impact can be difficult to predict.
A key feature of the desired workbench is broad analytical coverage that supports real program decisions. The solicitation highlights three example analysis needs: first, risk-reduction strategies aimed at lowering the integration risk when new technologies are introduced into an existing system-of-systems; second, analysis that helps decision-makers choose more informed technology investments by comparing options, tradeoffs, and likely outcomes; and third, approaches for integrating capabilities to support multi-domain mission planning, meaning coordinated planning across domains such as air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace where capabilities must work together as a cohesive whole. In practical terms, NSWC Crane was looking for a tool and associated methods that can explore alternative architectures, evaluate performance and behavior under different conditions, and support rapid iteration as requirements or threats change.
Technically, the opportunity points to a combined use of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and computational Modeling and Simulation (M&S). MBSE is positioned as the structured way to capture requirements, interfaces, behaviors, and architectures in formal models, while computational modeling and simulation provides the means to execute those representations to generate quantitative insights. By blending these approaches, the workbench would enable decision analytics that connect high-level needs to concrete architectural choices, expected behaviors, and technology requirements across complex systems and SoS constructs. The intent is not only to document designs, but to analyze them in a way that supports faster, more defensible decisions about what to build, how to integrate it, and how to evolve it over time.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary research and development opportunity in the science and technology category, funded via a cooperative agreement, indicating an expectation of substantial involvement or collaboration with the government during execution. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity was created on March 13, 2017, with an original closing date of April 12, 2017. The anticipated award structure was one award with an award ceiling of $500,000, under CFDA number 12.300, with the sponsoring agency identified as the Department of Defense, NSWC Crane Division.Apply for CRANBAA17 003
