SBIR MDA27BZ02-DV009 (Missile Defense Agency): Configurable Operator Decision Models for Constructive Test and Evaluation Simulations

About this opportunity

Missile Defense Agency SBIR topic — Accepting submissions 2026-12-02 to 2027-01-06. Government problem: Missile defense test and evaluation rely on constructive simulations to examine large numbers of scenarios, explore operational concepts, evaluate system-of-systems interactions, and reduce risk before live flight events. These simulations can represent physical platforms, sensors, weapons, communications, terrain, and threat laydowns, but operator decision effects are often represented by fixed scripts, simplified timing rules, or manually coded behaviors. This can cause analysis results to overstate or understate operational performance because human choices influence detection, classification, engagement, prioritization, communication, and response timing across the kill chain.
