Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory CSO
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory is looking to obtain innovative solutions or potential new capabilities in the following categories: Building Cold Region Domain Awareness, Enhancing Mobility and Maneuver in Cold Region Environments, Integrated Ice Operations, Advanced Materials Development and Applications in Extreme Cold Environments, and Resilient Cold Region Energy Systems.
Naval Special Warfare Command CSO
Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) seeks to accelerate the development, procurement and integration of unique capabilities into deployable warfighting capabilities in support of the Joint Force and our allied Special Operations Forces (SOF).
Opportunistic, Resilient & Innovative Expeditionary Network Topology
The DoD needs to ensure that connectivity across a heterogeneous swarm of attritable multi-domain autonomous platforms remains intact. Communications equipment shall be capable of reliable operations in a contested spectrum along with ability to operate at lower classification levels in conjunction with attrition resilience concurrent with the vehicles that they are on. Anti-jam (AJ) and Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) Line of site (LOS) and Beyond Line of Site (BLOS) resilient connectivity, including automated and seamless join and exit to the network, are preferred. Networking solutions shall maintain network awareness and routing across multiple radio frequency communications paths. DoD needs the ability to push one-way updated commands via a broadcast through the LOS and BLOS radio frequency and data networks. Communications across the network must be secure, applying best industry practices of commercial grade transmission and communications security. DoD requires a network control channel and management tool to direct and/or redirect the UxV team in both real-time and non-real-time disconnected operations.
Request for Information (RFI) - Strategic Technology Office (STO)
This RFI is to provide a mechanism to inform the office of new capabilities and concepts and the potential performers who will provide them. DARPA will use this information to determine the companies and individuals that STO would invite to have further substantive discussions to inform future projects and programs in appropriately classified settings when necessary.
