FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
Discussion
CRADAs are authorized under 15
U.S.C. 3710(a).1 A CRADA promotes the
transfer of technology to the private
sector for commercial use, as well as
specified research or development
efforts that are consistent with the
mission of the Federal parties to the
CRADA. The Federal party or parties
agree with one or more non-Federal
parties to share research resources, but
the Federal party does not contribute
funding.
CRADAs are not procurement
contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the
contracting process. CRADAs have a
specific purpose and should not be
confused with procurement contracts,
grants, and other type of agreements.
Under the proposed CRADA, the
Coast Guard’s Research and
Development Center (R&DC) will
collaborate with one or more nonFederal participants. Together, the
R&DC and the non-Federal participants
will evaluate detect and avoid (DAA)
systems to determine their potential for
use in a maritime environment to safely
fly sUAS beyond visual line of sight
(BVLOS).
We anticipate that the Coast Guard’s
contributions under the proposed
CRADA will include the following:
(1) In conjunction with the nonFederal participant(s), develop the
demonstration test plan to be executed
under the CRADA;
(2) Provide the SUAS test range, test
range support, facilities, and all
approvals required for a SUAS
demonstration and assessment under
the CRADA;
(3) Provide SUAS and associated
equipment necessary to conduct the
demonstration described in the
demonstration test plan;
(4) Provide all required operators and
technicians to conduct the
demonstration;
(5) Conduct the privacy threshold
analysis required for the demonstration;

each Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS’s

(6) Conduct the privacy impact
assessment required for the
demonstration;
(7) Coordinate any required spectrum
approval for the SUAS;
(8) Coordinate and receive any
required interim flight clearance for the
demonstration;
(9) Provide any required airspace
coordination and de-confliction for the
demonstration test plan;
(10) Collaboratively collect and
analyze demonstration test plan data;
and
(11) Collaboratively develop a
demonstration final report documenting
the methodologies, findings,
conclusions, and recommendations of
this CRADA work.
We anticipate that the non-Federal
participants’ contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the
following:
(1) Provide DAA system and all other
equipment to conduct the
demonstration described in the
demonstration test plan;
(2) Provide all required operators and
technicians to conduct the
demonstration;
(3) Provide technical data for the DAA
to be utilized;
(4) Provide shipment and delivery of
all DAA equipment required for the
demonstration; and
(5) Provide travel and associated
personnel and other expenses as
required.
(6) Provide documentation, analysis,
graphical user interfaces, and algorithms
supporting future FAA DAA BVLOS
authorizations.
The Coast Guard reserves the right to
select for CRADA participants all, some,
or no proposals submitted for this
CRADA. The Coast Guard will provide
no funding for reimbursement of
proposal development costs. Proposals
and any other material submitted in
response to this notice will not be
returned. Proposals submitted are
expected to be unclassified and have no
more than five single-sided pages
(excluding cover page, DD 1494, JF–12,
etc.). The Coast Guard will select
proposals at its sole discretion on the
basis of:
(1) How well they communicate an
understanding of, and ability to meet,
the proposed CRADA’s goal; and
(2) How well they address the
following criteria:
(a) Technical capability to support the
non-Federal party contributions
described; and
(b) Resources available for supporting
the non-Federal party contributions
described.
Currently, the Coast Guard is
considering AV Inc. for participation in

17098

this CRADA, because they have a
solution in place for providing detect
and avoid capabilities for UAS.
However, we do not wish to exclude
other viable participants from this or
future similar CRADAs.
This is a technology demonstration
effort to evaluate and assess DAA ship/
ground-based technologies which
support BVLOS UAS operations. The
goal of this CRADA is to find a solution
for operating SUAS BVLOS. Special
consideration will be given to small
business firms/consortia, and preference
will be given to business units located
in the U.S.
