AI Contract Overview
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Information Processing Techniques Office is utilizing the Expedited Research Innovation System marketplace to identify innovative, awardable solutions for decentralized, distributed, and horizontally integrated command and control for heterogeneous combat agents. This initiative focuses on sensing grids, unmanned aircraft systems, satellite constellations, collaborative aircraft, and ground or surface capabilities. The scope emphasizes advancing autonomy frameworks, edge processing through information-theoretic compressive tokenization, and space autonomy to enable trustworthy agent-to-agent collaboration in compute and bandwidth-limited environments. Technical priorities include shifting the action chain to a sense/act and incorporate feedback model, ensuring scalability for thousands of nodes using lightweight algorithmic implementations, and maintaining interoperability across multi-vendor hardware. The shopping notice is active from August 10, 2026, through July 31, 2027, with specific collection windows for new submissions throughout 2026 and 2027. Solutions are evaluated based on the ERIS Master Program Solicitation criteria, with a particular interest in conceptual novelty regarding information exchange, data incest, and time dynamism. Desired expertise includes distributed tracking and measurement fusion at the edge, as well as experience developing code in unclassified environments for deployment to classified combat systems. Interested parties must submit video solutions through the DARPAConnect ERIS Portal and provide notification via email to the ERIS Coordinator.
