DARPA's DICE program (HR001126S0010) wants the theory and algorithms for a self-organizing collective of AI agents that stays on mission in contested environments with no central controller. It is a 36-month, simulation-only, three-technical-area BAA due August 25, 2026 — and it rewards a rare blend of distributed-systems theory and frontier-model inference control that almost no single lab has under one roof. Here is what DICE is really asking for, who is positioned to win, and how to build a team that can.

Read articleDARPA's FY26 SBIR Release 5 pre-releases August 5, 2026, opens August 26, and closes September 23 — a four-week window. The Department of War now pre-releases SBIR/STTR topics the first Wednesday of every month, turning DARPA solicitations into a predictable annual cadence you can plan around. The most valuable and least-used part is the three-week pre-release period, when you can talk directly to the topic authors before proposals open. Here is how to turn the monthly rhythm and the pre-release window into a real competitive edge.
