Description

This solicitation seeks innovative AI-driven solutions that fuse heterogeneous multi-domain data streams to provide real-time, explainable, and policy-aware situational awareness for operational decision-making. The goal is to increase battlefield situational awareness, reduce vulnerabilities, and accelerate decision-making. The solutions should be capable of ingesting and fusing at least two heterogeneous data types to produce classification, detection, and correlation outputs. Desired capabilities include deep learning architectures, entity resolution, policy-aware fusion, scalable real-time fusion pipelines, and considerations for edge deployment. The solutions will be integrated into CAF ISR platforms, C2 systems, and tactical deployments to inform doctrine and procurement strategies.
