Basic Research in Advanced Imaging and Non-Imaging Sciences: This BAA seeks to enhance the space situational awareness (SSA) research being conducted within the Air Force Research Laboratory. The objective of this research initiative is to further explore and develop many of the basic sciences that form the basis for SSA and related technologies that will ultimately support AF mission areas. The focus of this initiative is basic research associated with the characterization of space objects from ground- and space-based sensors. Areas of interest covered by this BAA include: 1) new and novel approaches to obtaining SSA- using passive or active radiation in the visible to far infrared wavelength regime; 2) image and signal processing research that will result in new or improved algorithms that generate SSA-related information from observational data; 3) enabling mathematics that support the generation, characterization, and interpretation of SSA-related information, and 4) the application of high-performance computing methods to areas (1) - (3).
