Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (CAML)-Lite Prototype Effort

Solicitation # W50RAJ27CAML_LITE

The Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher (CAML)-Lite Prototype Effort is a competitive procurement conducted under 10 U.S.C. section 4022 Other Transaction Authority to develop a mobile, optionally manned, autonomous launcher for cross-domain offensive and defensive fires. The program is structured in two phases, beginning with Phase 1, which requires a prototype demonstration at Talisman Sabre 2027 in August 2027. This initial phase includes a priced option for the acquisition of additional prototype units, New Equipment Training, and Contractor Logistics Support. Phase 2 focuses on prototype maturation and integration into a common CAML architecture. The government seeks solutions that utilize a Modular Open Systems Approach to ensure interchangeable modules and autonomous munition resupply with minimal human intervention. The procurement process begins with the submission of a Solutions Brief, with a deadline of October 26, 2026. The government will evaluate these briefs based on technical soundness, credibility in addressing objectives, and the feasibility of the maturation path to select the most meritorious respondents for a subsequent Request for Prototype Proposal. Award for Phase 1 is expected by December 18, 2026. Selected performers must assume full responsibility for international logistics and compliance for transporting systems to Australia. Funding for the demonstration will be provided at initial award, though performer investment is required and may positively influence selection. Final acceptance of the effort is contingent upon successful performance verification, cybersecurity Authority to Operate, and government approval of the Technical Data Package.

Full Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is issuing an Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIE) opportunity inviting submissions of innovative research proposals to investigate new, third wave AI approaches that leverage residuals to contextually reason, and make counterfactual predictions to better account for individual differences with the goal of enhancing the safety and efficacy of human performance interventions. The purpose of the Teaching AI to Overlook Leveraged Residuals (TAILOR) program is to explore whether and, if so to what extent, third wave AI methods can predict which human performance optimization (HPO) intervention(s) will be most effective for individuals and teams. The goal of the TAILOR program is to develop a prototype counterfactual prediction approach for tailoring individualized HPO interventions.
