III. Discussion
CRADAs are authorized under 15
U.S.C. 3710a.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.
1 The statute confers this authority on the head of
each Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS’s
authority is delegated to the Coast Guard and other
DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation
No. 0160.1, para. II.B.34.

Under the proposed CRADA, the
USCG Research and Development
Center (RDC) will collaborate with one
or more non-Federal participants.
Together, the USCG RDC and the nonFederal participant will evaluate the
suitability of open-source software
defined radio technology in a shore-side
and shipboard environment to conduct
USCG missions.
We anticipate that the USCG’s
contributions under the proposed
CRADA will include the following:
1. Provide appropriate staff with
pertinent expertise to take the lead in
accomplishing the required tasks;
collaborate with selected non-Federal
participants to evaluate the suitability of
open-source software defined radio
technologies;
2. Provide information regarding the
USCG’s interest in the open-source
software designed radio technology
needed for creating the test plan, and
co-design specific operational test
scenarios, bringing in real-world
maritime expertise;
3. Obtain, transport, and provide all of
the ensemble items to be used during
the testing;
4. Provide personnel support to nonFederal participant to assist with setting
up and execute testing in accordance
with the agreed upon test plan;
5. Work with non-Federal participant
to develop a final report, which will
document the methodologies, findings,
conclusions, and recommendations of
this CRADA work.
We anticipate that the non-Federal
participants’ contributions under the
CRADA will include the following:
1. Provide appropriate staff with
pertinent expertise to support the abovementioned tasks;
2. Provide all necessary facility
resources needed to conduct opensource software designed radio
technology demonstrations and testing;
3. Provide technical support for all
technology demonstrations and
proposed test plans;
4. Provide technical data for the
equipment, software, and services to be
utilized;
5. Provide shipment and delivery of
any equipment required to conduct
evaluations, demonstrations, and test
events as described in the CRADA;
6. Provide travel and associated
personnel and other expenses, as
required, for subject work;
7. Provide test data upon completion
of testing.
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 based on:
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 GDMS, for participation in
this CRADA. This consideration is
based on GDMS briefings to the USCG’s
Command, Control, Communication,
Computer, Cyber and Intelligence
Service Center (C5ISC) on its opensource software defined radio
technology plans and availability of
appropriate facilities to execute
demonstrations and test scenarios.
However, we do not wish to exclude
other viable participants from this or
future similar CRADAs.
This is a technology suitability effort.
The goal of this CRADA is to evaluate
the suitability of implementing opensource SDR technologies on shore-side
and shipboard environments. Special
consideration will be given to small
business firms/consortia, and preference
will be given to business units located
in the U.S. This notice is issued under
the authority of 5 U.S.C 552(a).

Captain, Commanding Officer, U.S. Coast
Guard Research and Development Center.
