The Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) seeking proposals for the development of innovative capabilities to defeat improvised explosive devices employed against U.S. and coalition forces around the world, in particular Iraq and Afghanistan. JIEDDO wants capabilities that can be rapidly developed, demonstrated, and deployed within one to two years of award. However, the agency is willing to entertain less mature systems with a potentially high payoff. Sol. No. JIEDDO-BAA-09-02. Respond by March 5, 2010. Contact: Lt. Col. Mark Keller, 703-601-5756, [email protected].
