ABSTRACT
The US military has several diverse challenges in cybersecurity research and development (R&D) of cyber capabilities. The military side of the Strategic Plan taps into the DoD Cybersecurity Cross-Community Innovation Ecosystem. One of the challenges in cybersecurity R&D in the US military is the combined strategic and applied research, development, and deployment of the technology required to protect the DoD at the enterprise level. This chapter covers samples of actual BAA Other Transaction (OT) Agreements, and Sources Sought Notices related to cybersecurity that have been issued by DoD component organizations. The Long Range BAA for Navy and Marine Corps Science and Technology is intended to solicit proposals related to basic research, applied research, or advanced technology development and that part of development not related to the development of a specific system or hardware procurement. One way that DoD organizations move projects forward is to post OT Agreements for Prototype Projects.
