"Navy SBIR Predictive Movement for Object Tracking DON26BZ03-NV061 for AI-Driven Maritime Intelligence and Automated Tracking" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
This U.S. Navy SBIR topic (DON26BZ03-NV061) seeks an AI-driven maritime intelligence platform for predictive movement modeling and automated tracking of vessels and objects of interest. The effort emphasizes machine learning for trajectory prediction, anomaly detection, multi-source data fusion, and autonomous tracking to enhance maritime domain awareness and decision support.
Phase I awards provide up to approximately $315,000 to demonstrate feasibility, with a path to larger Phase II prototype development and transition to Navy operational systems. The topic is part of the DoD SBIR/STTR FY26 cycle with proposals due July 22, 2026.

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.
The 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.
