The Expeditionary Cyber program provides the Navy and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) innovative solutions to defend their assets and defeat adversaries within and through cyberspace. Traditional cyber solutions are tethered to enterprise infrastructures, and oftentimes are housed in permanent, controlled rooms.
Expeditionary Cyber solutions must contribute to the enterprise infrastructure, but decouple quickly to operate either in standalone configurations or as part of a distributed, mobile tactical operation in harsh and unfriendly environments. Research for the Expeditionary Cyber program encompasses DoD S&T activities from fundamental research to advanced technology development.
This program seeks to gain knowledge about computing systems, data and networks encountered in expeditionary environments in order to devise new applications for Naval operations. The program seeks to expand emerging applications towards a broad expeditionary need related to cyberspace that presents initial feasibility of a warfighting capability.
Innovative solutions that show initial promise will be refined into a prototype that performs in an operationally relevant environment.

NOFO N0001426SF004 offers roughly 25 awards at $750,000 over 36 months to first- and second-appointment faculty. No cost share, no white paper stage — and an eligibility clock that admits PhDs earned on or after January 1, 2019 and nobody earlier. The program officer conversation, not the proposal, is the part most applicants get wrong.
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.
