Interactive Learning for Mission Planning BAA Industry Day Announcement The Air Force Research Laboratory/Information Directorate will be conducting a virtual Industry Day on Friday, May 22nd, 2020 regarding Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) FA8750-20-S-7001 for the Interactive Learning for Mission Planning (ILMP) program. The purpose of this event is to provide interested companies/entities with an overview of the problem space that the ILMP program is addressing. This virtual event is being held to promote specific areas of interest, promote an early exchange of information, and provide an opportunity for both the Government and Industry to gather more information prior to the submission of white papers as previously solicited on the SAM.gov web site. This event will be prerecorded as an audio / video presentation and distributed as a single, digital file to a mailing list of approved recipients in lieu of a live conference call or in-person event. On the “event day” (22 May 2020) the ILMP BAA team will distribute the presentation file to the entire mailing list. The ILMP team will collect questions and amend this announcement with a Q&A document. After its initial posting, the Q&A document will not be updated. Any future changes to the BAA will be done via amendment to the BAA synopsis. In order to ensure competitive integrity, the questions and answers will be posted without attribution. Offerors may email questions, from 22 May 2020 to 26 May 2020 , to the Technical Points of Contact (TPOC) below. When submitting questions please begin the subject line of the email with “FA8750-20-S-7001 Industry Day Question”. The team will not immediately respond with the answer to your question.

DESCRIPTION: DoD has invested heavily in automated planners across echelons from tactical planning to operational planning; often these planners fail to perform at a level acceptable to human planning experts, and are usually outperformed by their human counterparts. This program seeks to leverage the perceptual expertise of human planners to augment existing machine planners such that automated planners perform in a way that is acceptable to human planning experts. The meeting is open to all Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. DoD Contractors. All briefs and discussions will be held at the Distribution D level.
