The Department of War, in collaboration with multiple federal agencies, is launching a challenge to identify advanced software solutions for automated spectrum management. - Government Buyer: - Department of War (DoW), with partners including Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, NTIA, FCC, FAA, and DHS - Products/Services Requested: - Enterprise-grade, AI-driven software platform for automated spectrum deconfliction and authorization - Solution must include: - Agentic automation for workflow management - High-fidelity RF modeling capabilities - Open architecture for integration and extensibility - Integration with federal spectrum databases - Robust cybersecurity, with a roadmap to DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide IL5/IL6 - NDAA compliance - Deployment within government cloud infrastructure - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 7 or higher (mature, proven solutions) - Multi-round challenge structure with a $2,000,000 prize purse - Potential for follow-on enterprise procurement - No specific OEMs or vendors named; open to all qualified providers - No hardware or specific part numbers requested; focus is on software capabilities and integration
Description
Project Spectrum Strike is a high-demand initiative seeking proven, high technology readiness level (TRL) software technologies to transition from live demonstration to enterprise procurement rapidly. The Department of War aims to address challenges in integrating modern technology into legacy spectrum management systems, which currently suffer from slow, manual, and paper-based processes. The desired solution is an automated, software-driven spectrum deconfliction and authorization ecosystem that drastically reduces approval timelines and provides a deployable dashboard with AI agents for coordination. The project involves multiple rounds of evaluation with prize awards and potential follow-on procurement for successful solutions.
