Broad Area Announcement 2025 Industry Day and Technical Interchange
Meetings (TIM)s, taking place onboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, MD on Feb. 19-20, 2025.
The
kick-off will be held at the NAS Patuxent River Base Theater, in the
morning on the first day, Feb. 19, at the collateral Secret level. TIMs
will be held in the afternoon of the first day and the following day at
additional security levels. These TIMs will
allow a more targeted discussion with smaller groups, which will include
program executive office (PEO) staffs, program office (PMA) integrated
product teams (IPT) and subject matter experts (SMEs) from the
government and industry, all at a classified level, to highlight
specific challenges and discuss potential solutions to fill capability
gaps related to Naval Aviation North Stars.
The Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) Capability North Stars include, but are not limited to:
- Force Employment
- Long Range Fires (LRF)
- Carrier
Air Wing - Strike Fighter and 4th / 5th Generation Aircraft Integration
/ Unmanned Carrier Aviation / Manned-Unmanned Teaming
- Maritime Intelligence Surveillance, Reconnaissance (MISR)
- Counter
Command, Control, Computers, Communication, Cyber, Intelligence,
Surveillance, Reconnaissance, & Targeting (C-C5ISRT)
- Defend the Force / Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW)
- Force Mobility / Precision Approach and Landing Capability
- Nuclear Command and Control Strategic Platform / Systems.
The TIMs are focused, working-level interactions between government and industry to discuss key topic areas in
the context of the typical CVN/CVW operations phases: (1) mission
planning, pre-flight and launch; (2) departure, tanking, and maneuver;
(3) kill chain execution; (4) return and recovery. Outcomes
expected from the TIMs are: 1) close warfighting capability gaps; 2)
improve communication with industry; 3) foster competition; and 4)
elicit companies to submit focused and relevant white papers in response
to the NANS BAA.
For this Industry Day, the kick-off is limited to three people per company, and all are required to validate SECRET clearance or above in order to attend both the kick-off and the TIMs.
