DevX Autonomy serves as a repository of vetted, award-ready autonomous solutions, through a 6-minute demo video that connects innovators to government stakeholders. It fast tracks ready-to-go technology for contract and accelerates solutions to Soldiers and units for fielding.
DevX Autonomy is a streamlined acquisition platform that accelerates how the government discovers, assesses, and awards innovative technologies in autonomy and unmanned systems. The platform hosts short, award-ready vendor pitch videos that have undergone competitive assessment and meet Government requirements.
Once added, these solutions are readily awardable government-wide, allowing decision-makers to move from discovery to award in a fraction of the time it usually takes. A single 6-minute video replaces traditional proposals. Each submission is assessed by subject-matter experts under published criteria to ensure clarity and consistency.
Once deemed awardable, solutions are visible across the government and ready for rapid award under existing contracting authorities. Improvement of autonomous platforms that operate in the ground, sea, and air. Mission-specific autonomous capabilities (e.g., Sensors, Comms, or other capabilities).
Mission-Enabling Solutions Advance operations with humans and other systems (e.g., Mission Planning and prioritization). Enhance existing lethal capabilities or introduce new capabilities. Sustainment and maintenance solutions for autonomous systems.
Motors, sensors, controllers or other components that improve capabilities of autonomous systems. Solutions that markedly improve or disrupt autonomous technologies and capabilities. Improvement of autonomous platforms that operate in the ground, sea, and air.
Mission-specific autonomous capabilities. Examples: Sensors, Comms, or other capabilities. Mission-Enabling Solutions Enable cohesive operation with humans and other systems.
Example: Mission Planning and prioritization Enhance existing lethal capabilities or introduce new capabilities. Sustainment and maintenance solutions for autonomous systems. Motors, sensors, controllers or other components that improve capabilities of autonomous systems.
Solutions that markedly improves or disrupts autonomous technologies and capabilities. DevX Autonomy offers innovators a direct, low-barrier pathway to connect with Army and government acquisition teams. Instead of lengthy written proposals, vendors submit a 6-minute video pitch describing their solution, capabilities, and readiness.
Solutions deemed award-ready are added to the DevX repository, becoming immediately visible to government buyers across the autonomy ecosystem. If a submission is not initially approved, vendors receive actionable feedback to refine and resubmit. DevX Autonomy announcement (SAM.

DevX Autonomy: Open Call Solicitation for Innovative AUS Solutions is sponsored by U.S. Army Applications Laboratory. DevX Autonomy Open Call Solicitation for Innovative AUS Solutions is a grant from the U. S. Army Applications Laboratory that funds autonomous and unmanned systems solutions for the U. S. Army through a long-term, open call solicitation.
The Army Applications Laboratory (AAL) DevX Autonomy program (W911NF-26-S-0040) is a continuously reviewed open call solicitation seeking innovative autonomous and unmanned systems (AUS) solutions for the U.S. Army. The program accepts submissions on a monthly basis with cutoffs on the last day of each month through August 31, 2026. Focus areas include autonomous platforms (ground, aerial, maritime), payloads, mission-enabling software and hardware, lethal and non-lethal capabilities, sustainment solutions, and subcomponents for unmanned systems. A distinctive feature is that submissions deemed award-ready can proceed directly to contracting without further competition. The submission format is streamlined: a 6-minute video pitch and structured form rather than traditional lengthy proposals. This program is particularly valuable for AI startups and robotics companies developing autonomous navigation, swarm intelligence, computer vision, or AI decision-making systems for unmanned platforms.
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.
