The FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Office has a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for research and integration work on drones, open through September 30, 2028. White papers can be sent any time or in response to a specific Call, and Call 001 has not been posted yet. The notice does not describe specific work or funding.
Watch out for
- Research-style BAA with unclear scope. The posted text gives no topics, funding or evaluation criteria, so you cannot judge fit without the BAA document.
- First Call not yet posted. Specific requests will come in later Calls, so there is nothing concrete to respond to yet.
Call 001 is forthcoming and interested parties should monitor this posting on Sam.gov for updates.
