Description

Project Spectrum Strike is a prize challenge issued by the Department of War (DoW) to accelerate the adoption of high technology readiness level (TRL >= 7) software technologies for spectrum management. The challenge seeks automated, software-driven spectrum deconfliction and authorization solutions to replace the current manual, paper-based process that takes 75 to 180 days. The goal is to reduce approval timelines to less than five days and provide a deployable dashboard with AI agents for interagency coordination. The challenge includes multiple rounds with prize pools totaling $2,000,000 and aims to transition successful solutions to enterprise deployment through procurement pathways.
