Air Force: BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) $100 million in total funding is up for grabs. What are they looking for? Artificial intelligence for next-gen command and control. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize the Department of the Air Force (DAF) and Joint Force Command and Control (C2) across all levels, enhancing decision-making and battlespace assessment. This BAA aims to explore innovative AI and distributed C2 concepts, emphasizing the rapid R&D of AI-based capabilities for Joint All Domain C2. As AI applications grow, challenges arise in managing and adapting these capabilities in contested environments. Distributed operations are vital for Next-Generation C2. The DAF's shift from a singular C2 node to multiple distributed nodes hinges on optimizing operational processes with limited resources. By advancing distributed C2, the DAF envisions a nimble, mobile, and virtualized operational capability. This BAA focuses on areas like AI application in C2, battle management techniques, considering adversary AI use in C2 planning, and enabling distributed C2 anywhere. Only white papers will be accepted as initial submissions 👇
