The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate's Geospatial Intelligence Processing and Exploitation (GeoPEX) Broad Agency Announcement (FA8750-21-S-7006) is an open, two-step BAA funding research, development, integration, testing, and evaluation of technologies that enhance geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) capabilities for national security missions. Core technical areas emphasize artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for full-spectrum GEOINT, automated multi-source data production, cloud-based high-performance computing, photogrammetry, and rapid exploitation of imagery and sensor data. The BAA carries an estimated total ceiling of approximately $99.9 million, with individual awards from roughly $250,000 to $10 million over performance periods up to 36 months. White papers are accepted on a rolling basis and the announcement remains open and effective through September 30, 2026.
The Department of Energy's Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) Smart Manufacturing Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0003329) provides up to $33 million to fund high-impact applied research, development, and demonstration projects that use digitization, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and physics-informed models to improve the technical performance, efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. Areas of interest include AI- and ML-driven automation integrating hardware and software systems into manufacturing tooling and equipment, manufacturing asset management for system performance optimization (cost, quality, throughput), intelligent materials identification and sorting for circular economy outcomes, and digital twin platforms supporting clean energy manufacturing. The FOA aligns with the DOE Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap and supports the broader Manufacturing USA Smart Manufacturing strategy.
DoW's 2026 SBIR Broad Agency Announcement now operates on a monthly pre-release / quarterly close cadence. The 42 topics closing June 24 are the first test of whether the new rhythm produces the steady-state deal flow defense innovators have been asking for since 2022.
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.
