The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Long Range BAA (N00173-24-S-BA01) supports basic and applied scientific research to enhance the operational capabilities of the Navy and Marine Corps. NRL is the Navy's corporate laboratory and conducts research across a comprehensive range of science and engineering disciplines.
AI and autonomous systems are specifically included as priority research areas, encompassing machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, autonomous navigation, human-machine teaming, and intelligent decision support systems. The BAA uses a two-step process: white papers are accepted on a rolling basis through September 30, 2026, with full proposals invited only after favorable white paper review.
This BAA is distinct from the ONR Long Range BAA — NRL is a separate research laboratory with its own solicitation, focused more on in-house laboratory collaboration and technology transition rather than broad academic research funding. NRL research areas also include acoustics, materials science, space science, and electronic warfare, creating opportunities for AI applications across multiple scientific domains.

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.
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.
