Advanced Sensor Fusion & Multi-Domain Tracking

The contract seeks the development of advanced AI and machine learning-driven sensor fusion architectures designed to seamlessly integrate sensor data from space, air, ground, and maritime domains to enable persistent tracking of ballistic and cruise missiles. The system must support autonomous cueing capabilities, allowing for real-time identification, correlation, and prioritization of threats across heterogeneous sensor networks without reliance on human intervention. The technical approach must emphasize scalability, robustness under contested environments, and low-latency processing to maintain continuous surveillance and response readiness across all operational domains. This is a subcontract opportunity under the Missile Defense Agency, part of the Department of Defense, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 541715 for research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. Proposals must be submitted by May 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, and the work is expected to support national missile defense objectives through next-generation multi-domain sensing and fusion technologies. There is no designated set-aside category, and performance location details are unspecified, implying potential flexibility in execution sites. All submissions must align with the agency’s mandate for rapid technological advancement in missile defense surveillance and interception capabilities.
