Autonomous Swarm Tactics Development

The contract titled Autonomous Swarm Tactics Development seeks to advance AI and machine learning technologies for the coordinated operation of unmanned systems in contested environments, focusing on intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and kinetic missions. The effort aims to develop autonomous control systems that enable swarms of unmanned platforms to operate collaboratively without centralized command, adapting dynamically to threats, communication limitations, and environmental constraints. The technical scope emphasizes real-time decision making, resilient communications, and mission adaptability under denied or degraded conditions where traditional navigation and coordination methods are ineffective. This subcontract under the Department of Defense, managed by the Naval Special Warfare Command, targets a deadline of December 31, 2026, with performance centered in the 92155 ZIP code area. The NAICS code 541512 identifies it as computer systems design and related services, indicating a focus on software and algorithmic development over hardware manufacturing. The work is intended to support next-generation tactical capabilities for special operations forces operating in high-risk, high-denial theaters, requiring innovations in swarm autonomy, sensor fusion, and adaptive mission planning that operate independently of external infrastructure or real-time human intervention.
