Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology ASA(ALT) releases contract opportunities on an ad-hoc basis to meet Army research and development needs.
Prove a decision-as-a-program capability that turns complex engineering/acquisition questions into structured, auditable Decision Packages – faster, with higher confidence. This opportunity will be open for both SBIR and STTR participation.
The United States currently faces an “unprecedented” military buildup by China and increasing air and missile threats that demand a robust deterrent. However, the current inventory of long-range strike weapons is dominated by high-cost, low-volume systems or aging strategic assets like the Minuteman III, which dates back to the 1960s. The lack of a cost-effective, ground-launched payload delivery system prevents the Joint Force from achieving producibility at scale, leaving the U.S. vulnerable in high-intensity, multi-domain environments where high-end munitions would be rapidly depleted. The objective of this topic is

Develop and integrate a distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that can collaboratively command and control a multi-agent Group 1 or Group 2 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) swarm to defend an area against a numerically superior enemy swarm. AI system must be able to interface with existing, standard platform autonomy and perception systems. System must also not rely on a centralized control node.

The modern battlefield includes Electronic Warfare (EW) targeting a variety of RF signals, making single-frequency systems vulnerable to brute-force jamming. PGMs require frequency diversity in small, gun hardened, PGM Form Factor (FF) patch antennas to support a variety of M-GNSS and SoOp PNT signals and ensure successful operations in a contested EW environment.
