Marionette (A Multi-Domain C2 Decision Calculus for Complexity Imposition) BAA Industry Day Announcement The Air Force Research Laboratory/Information Directorate will be conducting a virtual Industry Day on 23-Feb-2021 regarding Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA8750-21-S-7005 for the Marionette (A Multi-Domain C2 Decision Calculus for Complexity Imposition) program. The purpose of this event is to provide interested companies/entities with an overview of the problem space that the Marionette program is addressing. This virtual event is being held to promote specific areas of interest, promote an early exchange of information, and provide an opportunity for both the Government and Industry to gather more information prior to the submission of white papers under the soon to be released BAA on Beta SAM. This event will be prerecorded as an audio / video presentation and distributed as a single, digital file to a mailing list of approved recipients in lieu of a live conference call or in-person event. On the “event day” 23-Feb-2021 the Marionette BAA team will distribute the presentation file to the entire mailing list. The Marionette team will collect questions and amend this announcement with a Q&A document. After its initial posting, the Q&A document will not be updated. Any future changes to the BAA will be done via amendment to the BAA synopsis. In order to ensure competitive integrity, the questions and answers will be posted without attribution. Offerors may email questions, from 23-Feb-2021 to 26-Feb-2021 to the Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) below. When submitting questions please begin the subject line of the email with “FA8750-21-S-7005 Industry Day Question”. The team will not immediately respond with the answer to your question. The Marionette tech team will post the Q&A responses as an amendment on 03-Mar-2021 . All questions and all answers will be distributed to the same mailing list that registered for the event.

DESCRIPTION: This research seeks to develop the concept of complexity imposition as a tool that can be used to optimally shape outcomes for specific operational contexts. The goal is to develop a framework for reasoning about complexity properties against MD courses of action in order to begin to assess the collective impact that such courses of action have against the adversary. The meeting is open to all Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. DoD Contractors. All briefs and discussions will be held at the Distribution D level.
