Commercial Observation for Spatio-Temporal Monitoring for Indications of Change (COSMIC) is sponsored by Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). The COSMIC program seeks to develop a methodology to leverage commercial remote sensing technologies and open-source geolocation information to generate pseudo-persistent data (PPD).
COSMIC aims to create a methodology to rapidly integrate multiple sources of information into a unified framework to allow for incorporation into a layered GEOINT model or PPD. This framework should also allow the prediction and visualization of resolution and bands of data not provided for PPD construction through predictive processes such as image diffusion or other generative AI approaches.

IARPA - Commercial Observation for Spatio-Temporal Monitoring for Indications of Change (COSMIC) - Defence Science Institute IARPA – Commercial Observation for Spatio-Temporal Monitoring for Indications of Change (COSMIC) IARPA – Commercial Observation for Spatio-Temporal Monitoring for Indications of Change (COSMIC) IARPA is seeking White Papers relating to developing a methodology to leverage commercial remote sensing technologies and open-source geolocation information to generate pseudo-persistent data (PPD) Non-US organisations can participate as sub-contractors to US organisations.
COSMIC aims to create a methodology to rapidly integrate multiple sources of information into a unified framework to allow for incorporation into a layered GEOINT model or PPD. Additionally, this source should allow the prediction and visualization of resolution and bands of data not provided for PPD construction through predictive processes such as image diffusion or other generative AI approaches.
The COSMIC capability will enable the rapid assessment of intelligence through an AI interrogatable multi-sensor, multi-int data source that combines satellite images and geospatial data from a variety of systems into an interrelated framework.
This framework should then be compatible with various state of the art change detection algorithms, object detection, and agentic systems identified by the government for the aid of intelligence analysts. COSMIC is an 18-month program. This call is issued under the US Department of the Interior/IARPA Emerging Technology Accelerator Program (DOI-ETA-FY-26-30) .
White papers are due 30 June 2026 .

On July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened its FY26 Genesis Mission SBIR/STTR round — roughly 40 Phase I awards across four topic areas (biotech, quantum, materials, and autonomous labs), a $147 million Phase II pool, and a September 10 pitch deadline. This is how small businesses get inside the $5 billion Genesis Mission. Here is what each topic funds, how the money and timeline work, and the concrete strategy to compete.
