Navy SBIR Topic: Real-time Zero Trust Data and Access Control for Combat Systems (Discontinued)

Real-time Zero Trust Data and Access Control for Combat Systems - SBIR Topic DON26BZ03-NV059 is sponsored by Department of the Navy (DoN) SBIR Program. The Navy seeks innovative cybersecurity solutions to develop a real-time Zero Trust security platform. This platform should protect critical combat system data through advanced authentication, micro-segmentation, AI-driven threat detection, and secure access controls. The goal is to reduce access latency, improve resilience, and strengthen data security in fast-paced combat scenarios.

Real-time Zero Trust Data and Access Control for Combat Systems is sponsored by Department of Defense (DOD) / Department of the Navy (NAVSEA). This specific SBIR topic from the Navy seeks adaptive "Zero Trust" data control systems, moving beyond network perimeters to granular security for each connection. While focused on combat systems, the underlying technology for real-time verification and reduced unauthorized access through advanced security paradigms, potentially including AI, could be relevant to advanced perimeter security concepts.

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program (U.S. Navy - NAVAIR) is sponsored by Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). The U.S. Navy's SBIR program (through NAVAIR) funds advanced computing and software, integrated sensing and cyber, and trusted Artificial Intelligence and autonomy, particularly for unmanned systems (UxS) and C6ISR systems in contested environments. This includes R&D of AI-augmented systems with quantum-resistant cryptology for secure and resilient communication.

Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agents for Cybersecurity Authority To Operate (ATO) Development - Navy - 25.1 SBIR is sponsored by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) - Navy. This SBIR topic aims to develop innovative automated software toolsets to assist cybersecurity personnel in developing and maintaining Authority to Operate (ATO) packages under the Risk Management Framework (RMF) process.

Navy SBIR 26.1 - Cyber Warfare and Threat Intelligence is sponsored by U.S. Navy. The Navy's SBIR topics for 2026 include advancements in cyber warfare, automated vulnerability analysis, and maritime-specific threat intelligence. VCI's focus on dark web investigations can be leveraged for analyzing adversary activities targeting naval assets and personnel.
