The DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Broad Agency Announcement (W911NF-23-S-0001) is ARL's primary mechanism for funding basic and applied research supporting the Army's mission, and is a rolling solicitation open until November 20, 2027. AI and machine learning are explicit priority areas, alongside cyber-physical systems and advanced learning-enabled systems. Sub-portfolio topics include computational sciences, intelligent systems and robotics, network sciences, human-autonomy teaming, and soldier cognition and performance, with robotics research spanning ground and air autonomous systems. Applicants are encouraged to contact the ARL Technical Point of Contact before submitting a white paper or full proposal.
This is the workhorse vehicle for getting Army basic research money into AI and autonomy work, and its distinguishing feature is duration: BAA W911NF-23-S-0001, the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Broad Agency Announcement for Foundational Research, remains open until November 20, 2027, accepting proposals on a rolling basis rather than through an annual competition. That makes it structurally different from the deadline-driven solicitations that dominate this space - a team can approach ARL when the science is ready rather than when the calendar says so. The AI and autonomy content is concentrated in several named research programs and Collaborative Research Alliances that proposals can align to: Human Autonomy Teaming, which addresses human-machine collaboration; the Distributed and Collaborative Intelligent Systems and Technology CRA, covering collaborative autonomous systems and multi-agent coordination; the Scalable, Adaptive and Resilient Autonomy CRA, focused on autonomy that holds up under degradation and adversarial conditions; Tactical Behaviors for Autonomous Maneuver, targeting autonomous tactical operations; and the Army AI Innovations Institute CRA, ARL's dedicated AI research initiative. ARL frames the whole thing as seeking cutting-edge innovative research across multiple disciplines to produce discoveries benefiting Army capabilities, which in practice means basic and applied research rather than prototype delivery. The eligibility breadth is unusual and worth noting: institutions of higher education, nonprofit organisations, state and local governments, foreign organisations, foreign public entities, and for-profit organisations including both large and small businesses can all submit. Foreign organisation eligibility in particular is rare among DoD research vehicles. Submission runs through Grants.gov.
AFOSR's open Broad Agency Announcement — the single front door to Air Force basic research funding — closed on March 23, 2026 for mandatory review under Executive Order 14332, and proposals submitted in its final week must be resubmitted to a replacement that has no posted date. Meanwhile NRL's Long Range BAA takes white papers only through September 30, and the Air Force's new $99 million command-and-control BAA runs to 2028 with a March 15, 2027 white paper date for FY28 money. A field guide to the rolling-solicitation channel while it is in flux.
Read articleAfter 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.
Read articleThe Department of the Navy pre-released FY26 Release 3 SBIR/STTR on June 3, 2026 — 12 BAA topics and one Commercial Solutions Opening for Counter-Unmanned Air Systems. Topics span adaptive sensor management, anomalous behavior detection, satellite imagery optimization, real-time zero-trust data for combat systems, and gun weapon systems modernization. Technical questions cut off June 23. Proposals open June 24 and close July 22. NAVAIR and NAVSEA co-host a Counter-UAS webinar June 16. Phase I funding tops out at $315,000. The CSO open topic for AI-powered drone defense is the structural news: it's the first time NAVAIR has used a CSO vehicle to fund counter-drone work outside the conventional Phase I/II structure, and it changes how small businesses can engage with the Navy's most urgent capability gap.
