Fundamental Research for Electronic Warfare in Multi-domain Operations (FREEDOM) - DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Essential Research Programs Fundamental Research for Electronic Warfare in Multi-domain Operations (FREEDOM) The Fundamental Research for Electronic Warfare in Multi-domain Operations (FREEDOM) Essential Research Program (ERP) seeks to develop a fundamentally different way for the Army to perform Electronic Warfare (EW).
EW is the use of electromagnetic energy and integrated cyber capabilities to carry out military and intelligence missions. Outcomes of this program permit Army forces to sense and communicate in contested multi-domain operations (MDO) environments by developing novel radio frequency (RF), cyber techniques, hardware, and sensor architectures for persistent closed-loop EW.
This effort enables persistent, survivable situational awareness in GPS-denied environments that are resilient and compatible for long-duration engagement. Enable Army forces to sense and communicate in contested environments while outpacing adversarial tactical capabilities and preventing targeting of ground-based forces.
Persistent distributed, disaggregated, and adaptive electronic warfare (EW) technologies for multi-domain operations: Adaptive / Cognitive: How can we rapidly characterize complex or unknown emitters? What are the intrinsic characteristics of transceivers that enable EW fingerprinting? Distributed / Coordinated: What are the benefits and limitations of distributed, coordinated, and coherent EW?
Preemptive / Proactive: How can EW techniques and algorithms introduce uncertainty in the enemy?
Agile EW with ability to adapt to new threats in real time Hardware in the loop emulation-based laboratory to develop and validate concepts Distributed, real-time geolocation and classification of adversary emitters Wide area concealment to deny target detection or cause misclassification of targets Wide area obscuration through local synchronization and control Extremely low probability of detection communication modalities carmella.

After 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 articleDARPA transferred its first autonomous-ready H-60Mx Black Hawk to the Army on March 20, capping a decade of ALIAS research. Now the same technology underpins an SBIR XL opportunity for small businesses building wildfire autonomy.
Read articleNSF just committed $380 million to build a national network of AI-programmable, remotely operated laboratories — the Programmable Cloud Laboratories Test Bed (NSF 25-541), the agency's flagship contribution to the Genesis Mission. Twenty nodes, four years, self-driving experiments in chemistry, biology and materials. Here is what it funds, who is eligible, why the 'existing facilities only' rule matters, and how researchers and companies should position for what comes next.
