Autonomous Public Safety Solutions for U.S. Air Force Installation Security Needs Mountain View, CA, 94043-1830 Socially and Economically Disadvantaged: No Congressional District: 18 Total Award Amount: $73,402 Contract Number: FA8649-25-P-0124 Agency Tracking Number: FX247-PCSO1-1523 Solicitation Topic Code: AFX247-PCSO1 Solicitation Number: X24.
7 Knightscope Inc. presents a robust solution for addressing critical security needs within U.S. Air Force installations through its portfolio of Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) and AI-driven monitoring systems. Our technology suite includes hardware, software, and cloud-based operations centers that integrate seamlessly into existing security frameworks.
These systems provide 24/7 autonomous surveillance, threat detection, and incident response, significantly reducing reliance on human personnel while enhancing situational awareness. By leveraging advanced AI analytics, including computer vision, thermal imaging, and sound recognition, Knightscope's robots provide real-time, actionable intelligence to security teams.
The Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC) is a cloud-based interface that collects data from these ASRs and provides decision-making tools for security officers. The system's integration of AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles enables automated patrols and incident reporting, allowing security personnel to focus on strategic decision-making.
The ASRs operate both indoors and outdoors, navigating complex environments with precision, thanks to advanced sensor technologies like lidar, sonar, and GPS. With nearly 3 million hours of proven autonomous operation in real-world environments, Knightscope's solutions are reliable and scalable for U.S. military applications.
In partnership with the U.S. Air Force, Knightscope aims to improve base security by automating routine tasks such as perimeter patrols, monitoring for unauthorized access, and detecting potential threats like cyberattacks and drone incursions. This collaboration will explore use cases that align with the Department of Defense's priorities, including enhancing the safety of military personnel and their dependents.
Moreover, our systems offer a scalable, future-proof approach that can be adapted to various military installations worldwide. The proposed Phase 1 effort will evaluate the feasibility of deploying Knightscope’s technology at selected Air Force bases, identifying the most critical security gaps, and developing an R&D roadmap for a larger Phase II pilot deployment.
Knightscope will collaborate closely with the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center to ensure that its autonomous security solutions address both current and future threats, with the potential to integrate into existing defense protocols seamlessly. This project will culminate in a comprehensive feasibility study and strategic recommendations for Phase II. Email: wsl@knightscope.

The memorandum of agreement was signed August 4 and 5, disclosed by House appropriators on September 3, and runs through 2036. It names no dollar figure. Here is what is actually established, what is still speculation, and what researchers holding or planning NIAID biodefense awards should do before September 30.

Round one closed July 8. The arithmetic across both windows accounts for nearly the entire FY26 appropriation — which tells you what kind of second chance this is.
Read articleThe Department's FY26 SBIR/STTR Release 3 opened June 24 with roughly 37 topics across DARPA, the Navy, the Air Force, and the defense components, all closing July 22. The compressed four-week window is unforgiving, but the bigger mistake founders make is treating every component the same. Here is how to read the release, the eligibility rules that disqualify good companies, and why the component you target matters more than the topic you pick.
