Advanced Technology Development
Abstract
Advanced Technology Development explores new Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) capability by leveraging the creativity and innovation of the Nation's small businesses and universities, and through cooperative international research agreements between U.S. and foreign universities of allied nations. The program manages the selection process and administers the Missile Defense Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Element, 0605502C. SBIR topics and projects are selected annually based on identified needs across the BMDS and executed in partnership with the sponsoring elements. In FY 2016, the program will conduct Advanced Technology Innovation Broad Agency Announcement (ATI BAA) solicitation for identifying potential breakthrough research on missile defense related technology with private industry, qualified accredited educational institutions, and non-profit organizations. Projects may include directed energy, sensors, command and control, or interceptor technology. The program will execute and administer the Missile Defense Agency Science, Technology and Research Broad Agency Announcement (MSTAR BAA) which invests in university research ranging from sensor data fusion to solid rocket propulsion to advanced materials for missile defense application. Advanced Technology Development pursues a broad range of revolutionary technology targeted for application and insertion into the BMDS. This work facilitates the commercialization and transition of promising technology into the BMDS by promoting a cooperative environment to reduce cost and increase return on investment between small business, prime contractors and MDA elements.
