The Army Applications Lab's DevX Autonomy open call seeks commercial autonomous and unmanned system solutions that can address Army capability gaps in maneuver, sustainment, and force protection. The solicitation accepts proposals on a rolling monthly basis through August 31, 2026, and is targeted at non-traditional defense vendors with autonomy software, AI perception systems, and unmanned ground or aerial platforms.
AAL provides early access to Army end users for problem refinement, prototype evaluation, and transition planning. Awards are structured as Other Transaction Agreements, with awards typically between $500K and $2M and a pathway to follow-on Army programs of record. AAL is part of the U.S. Army Futures Command innovation portfolio.

AFRL's Geospatial Intelligence Processing and Exploitation (GeoPEX) BAA seeks white papers for research, development, integration, test and evaluation of technologies and techniques to provide geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in all its forms and from whatever source — imagery, imagery intelligence, or geospatial data and information. The open, two-step BAA prioritizes AI-enabled sensor fusion, machine learning for imagery exploitation, multi-source data integration, autonomous geospatial reasoning, and intelligent processing pipelines. Total funding approximately $99.9M with individual awards typically $250K to $10M over up to 24 months. White papers accepted on a rolling basis until September 30, 2026; formal proposals are by invitation only.
The U.S. Army's SBIR/STTR Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Open Topic provides non-dilutive funding to small businesses developing AI and machine learning solutions for defense applications such as supply chain management, logistics coordination, target identification, and modeling and simulation. Awards follow the standard SBIR/STTR structure: Phase I establishes technical feasibility (typically up to about $250,000) and Phase II funds development and demonstration (typically up to about $2,000,000), with Phase III for commercialization. Open-topic solicitations accept proposals on a periodic basis.
DARPA's TIAMAT (Transfer from Imprecise and Abstract Models to Autonomous Technologies) program develops sim-to-real transfer techniques that train autonomous systems in low-fidelity, abstract simulations and reliably deploy them in unpredictable physical environments. Research targets foundations for rapid sim-to-real generalization, robustness to physics-model error, and transfer learning across morphology and sensor configurations. The program is structured as two 18-month phases and supports applications including ground autonomy, aerial autonomy, and robotic manipulation in adversarial, novel, or contested settings. Awards have included University of Central Florida ($1.2M) and other academic and industry performers. TIAMAT is a core DARPA investment in foundational autonomy R&D.
After SBIR reauthorization, the U.S. Army released five new small-business topics under Army FUZE — Ka-Band metamaterial radar, a Li-ion 6T battery open topic, in-transit-visibility blockchain, modular UAS payloads, and the xTech|Phantum prize competition. Awards run from $150K to $300K per Phase I. But the bigger story is the Army's shift from funding parts to funding whole systems. Here is what each topic funds and how to compete.
Read articleThe Department of the Navy pre-released FY26 Release 3 SBIR/STTR on June 3, 2026 — 12 BAA topics and one Commercial Solutions Opening for Counter-Unmanned Air Systems. Topics span adaptive sensor management, anomalous behavior detection, satellite imagery optimization, real-time zero-trust data for combat systems, and gun weapon systems modernization. Technical questions cut off June 23. Proposals open June 24 and close July 22. NAVAIR and NAVSEA co-host a Counter-UAS webinar June 16. Phase I funding tops out at $315,000. The CSO open topic for AI-powered drone defense is the structural news: it's the first time NAVAIR has used a CSO vehicle to fund counter-drone work outside the conventional Phase I/II structure, and it changes how small businesses can engage with the Navy's most urgent capability gap.
