IARPA's Commercial Observation for Spatio-temporal Monitoring for Indications of Change (COSMIC) program aims to integrate commercial remote sensing data and open-source geolocation information into dynamic geospatial models and develop an agentic AI analytic system capable of answering intelligence questions.
The program is part of IARPA's Emerging Technology Accelerator (ETA) framework released in April 2026, supporting high-risk high-payoff R&D for the Intelligence Community. COSMIC seeks to create AI systems that generate pseudo-persistent geospatial intelligence from non-persistent commercial satellite and sensor data.

RFI on Biologically-Derived Materials for Transient Propulsion Systems is sponsored by Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). IARPA is seeking information on bio-derived materials for transient unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) propulsion systems. This RFI (IARPA-RFI-26-01) explores the possibility of growing, rather than machining, drone engines and their ability to disappear after a mission.

The Department of Defense FY2026 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) provides funding for U.S. universities to acquire research equipment and instrumentation in areas important to national defense, including AI and machine learning hardware. The program is administered jointly by the Army Research Office (ARO), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), with approximately $34 million available and 95 awards anticipated. DURIP funds the acquisition of specialized computing hardware for AI/ML research (GPU clusters, TPUs, neuromorphic processors), robotics and autonomous systems testbeds, sensor arrays and data collection systems for machine learning training, high-performance computing infrastructure for defense-relevant AI research, and laboratory equipment for human-AI interaction studies. The program specifically supports equipment that enhances research-related education in DoD-priority disciplines. While general-purpose computing is not eligible, computing equipment directly supporting DoD-relevant AI research programs qualifies. No cost sharing is required.
Innovate UK's Sovereign AI Proof of Concept programme funds proof of concept demonstrators of AI technologies with state-of-the-art performance across five strategic themes: fundamental AI research, materials discovery, biosciences and health, defense and national security, and AI-aided chip/hardware design. Individual project grants range from £50,000 to £120,000 (approximately USD $63,500-$152,400) from a total allocation of at least £1.6 million. Projects must be 1-3 months in duration, starting by January 2026 and completing by March 2026. The programme supports feasibility studies and industrial research, with funding covering up to 70% of costs for micro/small businesses, 60% for medium, and 50% for large organizations. Literature review studies and projects unable to scale are excluded.
