Autonomous Decisions, Algorithms, and Modeling (ADAM)

The Autonomous Decisions, Algorithms, and Modeling (ADAM) Multiple Authority Announcement (MAA), solicitation number FA2377-25-S-1207, is an umbrella presolicitation issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Sensors Directorate, Multi-Domain Sensing Autonomy Division. The program is designed to implement a comprehensive strategy for progressing from basic research to technology maturation and transition, specifically focusing on multi-domain sense making and sensing autonomy. Technical efforts emphasize the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, sensor fusion, and data-to-knowledge translation to advance military capabilities in complex environments. The MAA serves as a framework for future individual solicitations, such as the MAINSAIL and SOUP programs, rather than a direct request for proposals. Awards are based on a best-value trade-off approach, prioritizing technical excellence, innovation, and transition potential over cost, which is evaluated for reasonableness and realism. Eligible offerors must submit proposals via Grants.gov, adhering to strict formatting guidelines and providing required certifications, including UEI and CAGE codes. The program utilizes various acquisition authorities and may employ Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract structures to manage the research, development, and prototyping of hardware, software, and data products.
