Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - CRANFOA-22-0001 - is cataloged under number N00164-22-1-1001 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 12.300, posted by NSWC CRANE - N00164. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on February 24, 2022. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is $100,000 -- $400,000. It expects to issue 2 awards. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on March 24, 2022. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description
Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division is interested in receiving proposals for the following Basic Research Opportunity Areas: a. High Fidelity Radio Frequency Scene Generation for Real-Time Processing NSWC Crane seeks novel approaches to the problem of generating complex radio frequency (RF) scenes for use in real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulations. Of particular interest are synthetic RF scenes for navigation purposes such as terrain feature mapping radars, Doppler mapping radars, and object identification purposes within radar scenes generated by pulse-doppler radars and synthetic aperture radars. RF scenes generated by radars such as LIDAR are of interest as well. For HWIL applications, an RF scene is a synthetic scene derived from terrain databases such as Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), merged with three dimensional objects (scatterers), combined with an aerospace vehicle’s state (3 dimensional position, orientation, and 3 dimensional velocity), and presented as digital scenes suitable for conversion to RF signals for processing in real time by RF systems on the aerospace vehicle. Scene computation approaches should trade scene resolution and fidelity with computation time and effort for a given computing capability. Novel approaches can include precomputation of scenes given apriority knowledge on an aerospace vehicle’s state over a given timeframe. Precomputation approaches should focus on minimizing scene computation and storage while preserving the ability to present those scenes in real time to a system under test. Aerospace vehicle expected velocities may range from subsonic to hypersonic speeds. A suitable proposal will address at least one of the areas discussed above and show improvement over current state of the art. b. Validation & Verification for Trusted Autonomous Vehicles NSWC Crane seeks research concerning Validation & Verification (V&V) of autonomous vehicles that utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. A primary area of exploration involves the evaluation of V&V approaches as they apply to the development of AI “Trust” for operational situations. Of particular interest is the use of Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) methods and hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) for pre-mission evaluation of learning integrity. Methods that utilize Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) platforms for AI capability implementation will be of particular interest. Methods that utilize multiple laboratory facilities for federated learning are also of special interest.
