Prototype Development & Simulation Modeling

The contract seeks the design and development of a proof-of-concept prototype or simulation model focused on predictive movement in object-oriented tracking, leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning alongside software modeling tools. The effort is intended to advance capabilities in dynamically forecasting the trajectories of moving objects within complex environments, with applications likely tied to defense, surveillance, or autonomous system operations. The work must be executed using AI/ML techniques that integrate with robust software modeling frameworks to ensure accurate, real-time prediction and adaptability across varying motion patterns and conditions. This is a subcontract awarded under a Small Business Administration Total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only businesses with fewer than 500 employees are eligible to respond, aligning with SBIR/STTR mandates. The North American Industry Classification System code 541720 categorizes the work under research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. The solicitation was posted by the U.S. Navy under the U.S. Department of Defense and has a response deadline of July 8, 2026. Performance will occur at the contractor’s facility or as otherwise directed, with no specific location mandated. Interested parties must submit proposals through the official DoD SBIR/STTR portal before the deadline to be considered.
