The SMDTC contributes to the success of the warfighter and joint force in four primary technology areas of interest: tactical, responsive space and high-altitude technologies, test and evaluation, strategic weapon technologies, and hypersonic defeat.
White papers for initial concept reviews and full proposals are sought from institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and for-profit organizations (i.e., large and small businesses) for scientific research that supports the SMDTC mission and the published SMDTC research topics of interest. White papers and full proposals are expected to be for cutting-edge innovative research that could produce discoveries that significantly impact enabling new and improved Army operational capabilities and related technologies.
Interested parties are encouraged to continually browse the SMDTC BAA topics for white paper and proposal topics that SMDTC desires to explore. These specific topics should be viewed as suggestive rather than limiting. SMDTC is always interested in considering other innovative research concepts relevant to the Army if those concepts align with its mission. Interested parties should also review https://www.grants.gov/ and https://www.SAM.gov/ to obtain the latest version of the BAA for white paper and proposal submission requirements.
