Army Solicitation for Agentic C2 Framework Tool (ECHOTRIBBLE) Prototype Development

This opportunity is a request from the U.S. Army for industry whitepapers to develop a prototype Agentic C2 Framework tool (ECHOTRIBBLE). - Agency: Department of Defense, Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command - Collaboration: U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), Army Cyber Technology and Innovation Center (ArCTIC), Cyber Fusion Innovation Center (CFIC) - Purpose: Develop a modular, autonomous software agent for digital infrastructure navigation, threat identification, and anomaly detection - Key requirements: modularity, autonomy, environmental observation, anomaly detection, low resource usage, secure communication, multi-platform deployment - No specific OEMs, vendors, hardware, or part numbers are mentioned - Submission window: July 13 to August 13, 2026 - Virtual demonstration phase: October 6-8, 2026 - Final selections and potential awards: mid-October 2026 - Potential for follow-on production contracts after successful prototype completion - Focus is on innovative software solutions, not product purchases

Description

The Cyber Fusion Innovation Center (CFIC), in collaboration with U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) and Army Cyber Technology and Innovation Center (ArCTIC), invites qualified industry partners to submit a whitepaper based on the included criteria for the development of an Agentic C2 Framework tool designed to autonomously navigate infrastructures, identifying and neutralizing identified threats/targets. This prototype will implement a modular, autonomous agent capable of navigation, environmental observation, and anomaly detection across digital environments and improving consistency across lines of effort that would occur without AI assistance.
