AI/ML-Driven Electromagnetic Signal Classification

The contract pertains to the development or supply of artificial intelligence and machine learning models capable of real-time detection, identification, and classification of unknown electromagnetic signals in contested environments. These models must operate under challenging conditions where signal integrity is compromised, adversaries actively interfere, and rapid decision-making is essential for situational awareness and operational advantage. The work requires advanced algorithmic design, robust training datasets, and proven performance in dynamic, spectrum-crowded scenarios, with an emphasis on adaptability, low latency, and high accuracy in distinguishing between known, unknown, and malicious signal types. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541715, indicating it falls under research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. It is issued by the Washington Headquarters Services under the Department of Defense, underscoring its strategic military relevance. The opportunity was posted on July 6, 2026, with a response deadline of August 1, 2026, at 3:59 a.m. Eastern Time. While no specific set-aside information is provided, the scope demands specialized technical expertise in electromagnetic signal analysis and AI/ML systems, targeting entities with demonstrated capability in defense electronics, signal intelligence, or autonomous sensing technologies. Performance location details are not specified, but the nature of the work implies operational deployment in theater or simulated contested environments.
