SBIR Phase II - REDCELL DEFCONAI

The U.S. Navy, through Naval Information Warfare Systems, is advancing its digital transformation by modernizing critical operational domains including IT infrastructure, logistics planning, and ship maintenance. This initiative targets the elimination of redundant and duplicated systems that currently waste resources and hinder mission readiness. By deploying AI-driven optimization algorithms, the effort will generate a unified software inventory map that identifies overlapping capabilities and inefficient contracts, allowing for the systematic phase-out of obsolete assets. The goal is to consolidate systems, reduce operational friction, and reallocate budgetary resources directly toward warfighter needs and strategic priorities. This effort is being pursued under the SBIR Phase II REDCELL DEFCONAI program, with performance centered in San Diego. The contracting officer, Ian Robinson, serves as the primary point of contact for all inquiries related to this forecasted opportunity. Although the solicitation number and NAICS code are not yet defined, the initiative reflects a structured push toward cloud-enabled, data-driven decision-making in naval operations. The modernization will not only enhance system interoperability but also establish a foundation for scalable, intelligent maintenance and logistics planning across the fleet.
