Dynamic Sensor-Tasking and Routing System for Subsurface Hazard Detection

Solicitation # DTR27BZ02-NV003

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is soliciting a Phase I SBIR proposal for a Dynamic Sensor-Tasking and Routing System to enhance the detection and defeat of subsurface WMD devices and components. Current operational capabilities suffer from a collect-everything bottleneck where unmanned platforms use static scripts that flood tactical networks with raw data and fail to adapt to changing soil physics. To resolve this, the agency requires an explainable, adaptive machine-learning architecture using Super Intelligence to dynamically schedule, sequence, and gate geophysical sensor modalities. This decision engine must utilize probabilistic methods, such as reinforcement learning, contextual bandits, or partially observable Markov decision processes, to optimize sensor deployment at the edge based on real-time environmental physics and mission constraints. This total small business set-aside solicitation, numbered DTR27BZ02-NV003, focuses on the Trusted AI and Autonomy priority area and requires CMMC Level 1 compliance. Proposals must be submitted via the DoW SBIR/STTR Innovation Portal (DSIP) and are evaluated based on technical merit, investigator qualifications, and commercial potential. The project aims to move beyond stove-piped visual mapping and post-processing suites toward a closed-loop system that can autonomously verify threats and adjust routing in uncharacterized environments. Successful development will lead to large-scale field demonstrations in Phase III to ensure reliable subsurface hazard clearance while minimizing operator exposure and network saturation.

AI Contract Overview

The California State Lands Commission has authorized a one-year, non-exclusive permit for American Cheetah Metals Inc. to conduct geological and geophysical surveys on 634.58 acres of state-owned school land in San Bernardino County, effective July 1, 2026, and concluding June 30, 2027. The permitted activities include surface geological mapping, soil and rock sampling, and surficial geophysical surveys aimed at collecting geological data to support land management and planning. The project is located approximately two miles north of the Mountain Pass Mine and is legally described as Assessor’s Parcel Number 0572-111-22, Section 36, Township 17 North, Range 13 East, San Bernardino Baseline & Meridian. The activity qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15306, which exempts information collection efforts with minimal environmental impact from full environmental review. While the permit requires submission of collected geological and geospatial data to the Commission, no formal reporting standard or deliverable format is specified, and no cost, pricing, or contractual value information is provided. There are no formal solicitation numbers, evaluation factors, contract clauses, or federal acquisition regulation requirements applied, as this is a state administrative action rather than a federal procurement. No invoicing, payment, inspection, or acceptance procedures are detailed in the documentation. The point of contact for the Commission is Christopher Hall, Environmental Scientist, and the applicant is also listed under the same contact information, indicating an administrative permitting process without competitive bidding or formal proposal requirements.
