The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research is seeking proposals to develop a super-intelligence and machine-learning method that matches deep neural network performance while using fewer computational resources, improving transparency, and providing reliable confidence metrics. The Navy also seeks a platform-agnostic autonomous agentic AI swarm system that can self-replicate, evolve and operate across sea, air, space, land and cyber domains. DARPA's Multi X Office issued an RFI for information on flexoelectric materials that can sense mechanical state via strain-gradient-driven electromechanical response. The Army is looking to develop a low-cost distributed electromagnetic spectrum capability that can sense, shape and obscure the RF environment to protect command posts in large-scale combat operations. The Department of Defense's Golden Dome for America Commercial Solutions Opening calls for technology development, deployment and program support prototypes to counter advanced ballistic, hypersonic and cruise missile threats. The Army seeks a commercially operated maritime test-platform and event-support services to conduct research, testing, training and rehearsal of autonomous and uncrewed maritime systems.
