SBIR Opportunity: Target Recognition and Acquisition in Complex Environments

The Space Development Agency (SDA) is issuing an SBIR/STTR Opportunity (SBO) inviting submissions of innovative research concepts supporting the advancement of our national defense space capabilities. In particular, SDA is interested in emerging algorithms for recognizing and discriminating fast moving, maneuverable targets from decoys and clutter in complex scenes that overhead persistent infrared (OPIR) sensors capture from space. High velocity, maneuverable targets include, but are not limited to, hypersonic glide vehicles, hypersonic cruise missiles, maneuvering re-entry vehicles, and glide vehicles, in addition to ballistic missiles and dim upper stages. This SBO is issued under the SDA Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for SBIR/STTR, HQ085021S0001. All proposals in response to the technical area(s) described herein must be submitted in accordance with the instructions provided under HQ085021S0001, found here: https://go.usa.gov/x724e/.
