Kessel Run posted an RFI on the Air Operations Center Weapon System: a 24/7 command-and-control system-of-systems that mixes hardware, software, third-party apps, and web services.
The Federal Highway Administration posted a sources-sought notice titled “AI-Enabled Incident Response System with sUAS and Human Copilots (AIRS-COP).” The public SAM.gov page does not reprint the statement of work; it points to an attachment.
ARM26BX06-NV012 wants a schema-driven decision-management layer that turns messy requests into signer-ready, auditable Decision Packages.
ARM26TX06-NV003 is the STTR counterpart to NV012: the same schema-driven, auditable decision-package problem, with a research-institution partner required.
DAF26BX06-DV026 is a Direct-to-Phase-II open topic.
DAF26BX06-NV510 is about AI/ML for missile detection, warning, tracking, and reporting across GEO, MEO, and LEO.
DAF26TZ06-NV006 is an STTR for an AI performance-evaluation tool — reliability, robustness, and related metrics — with a path into a 42 TW test environment.
DAF26TZ06-NV007 asks for automated combat assessment that can run on field equipment and UAVs, not only in a rear cell.
DPA26BZ06-DV026 is listed on the DoW SBIR FY26 Release 6 index as “Influence Benchmarks for AI Systems.” We retrieved the official title, not the full topic body from SBIR.gov or DSIP.
OSW26BZ06-DV033 wants an agentic-AI cognitive radar for GEOINT: the system senses interference, clutter, and SNR, then chooses waveforms (frequency, bandwidth, PRF) without waiting on an operator.
OSW26BZ06-DV034 asks for a vision-language model that detects and classifies targets in synthetic-aperture radar imagery from sensor-independent complex data (SICD).
OSW26TZ06-NV008 is an STTR on bio-inspired underwater teams.
Call 03 under JADPACT II (FA238426SB007) is looking for human-machine teaming concepts that use AI/automation to support battle managers, aligned with ABMS decision functions.
The Navy's Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Robotics and Autonomous Systems announces a forthcoming Area of Interest for Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle Phase II integration and testing, seeking vessel construction, autonomy and perception expertise.
Transformation and Training Command and Army Applications Laboratory posted DevX Autonomy (W911NF26S0040) as a long-term open call.
SOFWERX, with USSOCOM PEO Fixed Wing, is running a virtual Assessment Event on 15–17 Dec 2026 to find vendors who can integrate existing or new autonomy behaviors into the government-owned FANTOM stack using the FANTOM Core SDK.
DAF27TZ01-DV001 wants AI computer vision that assesses air-to-air refueling performance and builds a post-flight debrief for the receiver pilot.
DAF27TZ01-DV003 (FOCISAUS) is about cooperative information sharing among uncrewed air systems: pick what to send, live with bad radios, and fuse the rest into better perception.
USSOCOM PEO SOF Digital Applications CSO (H9241525X0001) to quickly bring commercially derived software into deployable SOF capabilities.
NGA's Boosting Innovative GEOINT S&T BAA (HM047623BAA0001) takes concepts in foundational GEOINT, advanced phenomenologies and analytic technologies, with topic calls published under it.
DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center BAA covering power and mobility, autonomous systems, force projection, survivability, electronics and architecture, and cyber engineering for ground vehicles.
Air Force Advanced Battle Management System BAA. Calls (sensors, cyber/electromagnetic activities, and others) are posted under it with their own due dates.
Awards can be fixed-price contracts or prototype OTs.
HR001126S0011 is DARPA IPTO’s office-wide BAA for revolutionary research that is not already covered by an IPTO program or another posted solicitation.
Army Applications Laboratory BAA for disruptive technologies in areas such as AI, robotics and autonomy, and power and energy.
AFRL Sensors Directorate multiple-authority announcement for Autonomous Decisions, Algorithms, and Modeling, from basic research through transition.
AFLCMC's Joint All-Domain Command and Control CSO (FA8612-21-S-C001) is an umbrella announcement. Proposals go only against the specific calls posted under it.
FA8750-23-S-7006 is an open two-step BAA through 30 Aug 2028.
Air Force Research Lab’s M-FAT broad agency announcement (FA8750-25-S-7004) stays open through 4 Aug 2030.
