### Description

<p>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.</p>
