s time period The areas of interest include 1 Development of integrated multilayer techniques for the protection of mobile adhoc wireless info networks detection of attacks on them and the reaction of the network nodes to these attacks once they have been detected 2 The broad range of physical data link and network layer techniques to assure the availability integrity and confidentiality of the wireless networks which will consist of both commercial and DoD specific assets to include an assessment of the threats that may be presented to each of the layers 3 Development of programmable interoperable common physical layer algorithms and link and network protocols that selfadapt to timevarying jammers provide Low Probability of Intercept LPI capabilities and adapt to varying Quality of Service QoS requirements 4 Hardware prototyping and proofofconcept developmentdemonstration systems 5 The broad range of innovative physical layer techniques for interference mitigation to assure availability Specific technology and support programs include 1 Application of new highefficiency spread spectrum waveforms and interference mitigation algorithms to Mobile Radio Multiple Access networked systems to provide ondemand AntiJamLow Probability of Intercept AJLPI capability 2 Responsive adaptive Link ControlAuthentication Techniques 3 Network layer protocols to utilize secure and connect to commercial wireless networks and that assure security of routing updates and are resistant to spoofing 4 Digital Watermarking for authentication of data 5 Robust protocols for the transmission of ATM packets over wireless links 6 Smart Networking RadioDARPA GloMo technologies emphasis is placed on the integration and insertion of advanced wireless information assurance technologies into existing and emerging networking infrastructures and systems and the extension of such capabilities into a larger network Deliverables will be technical reports and when appropriate demonstrations THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE SOLICITATION DO NOT SUBMIT A FORMAL PROPOSAL AT THIS TIME EVALUATION CRITERIA Proposals will be evaluated using the following criteria in descending order of importance 1 overall scientific and technical merit 2 potential contributionsrelevance to the Air Force and DoD 3 capabilities and experience 4 plans and capabilities to accomplish technology transfer and 5 total cost and cost realism NOTE Cost realism will be used as an evaluation criterion only in proposals which have significantly under or over estimated the cost to complete the effort In addition the Government will consider other factors such as past and present performance on recent Government contracts and the capacity to perform the requirements of the effort Offerers are
