The U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) seeks innovative commercial technologies to modernize and enhance Army ground vehicle capabilities. The program focuses on power systems, autonomy, survivability, robotics, logistics, advanced manufacturing, AI/ML, cybersecurity, energy systems, and vehicle protection. The CSO uses a streamlined three-phase acquisition process: Phase 1 (5-page solution brief), Phase 2 (presentation if invited), and Phase 3 (full proposal). Multiple Areas of Interest are released on a rolling basis, each with its own deadline. Current AoIs include topics across autonomous ground vehicle navigation, AI-enabled predictive maintenance, robotic systems for logistics, and advanced power systems. The program runs continuously through 2029, making it a durable entry point for commercial technology companies seeking to work with the Army on ground vehicle modernization. Awards are posted on SAM.gov.
The U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) Commercial Solutions Opening enables commercial technology providers to propose AI and autonomous vehicle solutions directly to the Army's ground vehicle modernization programs. Under U.S. Army Futures Command, this CSO accepts solution briefs on a rolling basis across multiple Areas of Interest including autonomous systems and robotics, AI/ML-enabled vehicle capabilities, cybersecurity and software systems, advanced manufacturing, vehicle survivability systems, and modeling/simulation/training. The program uses a streamlined three-phase evaluation: Phase 1 (5-page solution brief or 15 slides), Phase 2 (presentation if invited), and Phase 3 (full proposal with technical and pricing volumes). This is a key pathway for commercial AI companies to transition autonomous driving, computer vision, sensor fusion, and AI decision-making technologies into Army ground vehicle programs without traditional defense contracting overhead.
The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
Innovate UK's Sovereign AI Proof of Concept programme funds proof of concept demonstrators of AI technologies with state-of-the-art performance across five strategic themes: fundamental AI research, materials discovery, biosciences and health, defense and national security, and AI-aided chip/hardware design. Individual project grants range from £50,000 to £120,000 (approximately USD $63,500-$152,400) from a total allocation of at least £1.6 million. Projects must be 1-3 months in duration, starting by January 2026 and completing by March 2026. The programme supports feasibility studies and industrial research, with funding covering up to 70% of costs for micro/small businesses, 60% for medium, and 50% for large organizations. Literature review studies and projects unable to scale are excluded.
