The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the corporate research laboratory for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, solicits white papers for basic and applied scientific research under BAA N00173-24-S-BA01.
AI-related focus areas include data management and exploitation technologies that apply emerging mathematics and machine learning techniques, multi-agent systems and reinforcement learning, and AI/ML integrated with systems engineering across radar, antennas, and information systems.
Additional priority areas include advanced materials and energy storage, spacecraft systems and propulsion, cybersecurity and cryptographic technologies, ocean acoustics and remote sensing, and virtual/mixed reality systems for training and situational awareness. NRL is distinct from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and funds research conducted at or in collaboration with NRL's own laboratories.
White papers are evaluated on a rolling basis with selected proposers invited to submit full proposals.

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.
