Note: Amendment 1 extends the Response Date from 5:00PM EST January 20, 2020 to 5:00 PM EST January 24, 2020. The Department of Defense’s (DoD) Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) will conduct a Solutions Meeting on behalf of the Assistant Director of Autonomy within the Undersecretary of Defense for Research & Engineering (USD(R&E)) in Spring 2020 in McLean, VA. The Meeting provides selected innovative companies with an opportunity to make short technical presentations to government representatives about their technologies and products. There is a potential for companies to be selected for pilot projects or experimentation if their technology appears to match the DoD’s needs. The AD for Autonomy of USD(R&E) is looking for technologies in the following areas that utilize or enable the application of Autonomy & Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning to enable manned/unmanned teaming to improve the speed of decision making: Human Machine Teaming Calibrated trust and transparency Common understanding and shared perception Interactive learning Distributed, self-forming, self-coordinating systems Modular System Architectures Enable more effective human behavior Autonomous Systems Autonomous Maneuver Multi-modal sensing & effects AI/ML, Algorithmic approaches Decision Agents Evidence based design and implementation Formation Behaviors (e.g. Swarming) Requirements development Methods Metrics Tools Behavior prediction Autonomous positioning and navigation (non GPS) Autonomous sensor to shooter Autonomous airspace deconfliction/management Risk Management Dynamic Situational Awareness (e.g. Common Operating Picture) Rapid Assessment for Cognitive, Predictive task allocation Decision making at the edge Monitoring Missions, Threat Environments and Intrusion Responses User/System baselining, profiling and analysis Command & Control Systems Self-configuration Autonomous Management Distributed Architecture On-demand Situational Awareness with Big Data Mapping Wired/Wireless Networks, Systems, Activities and Detecting Changes Companies interested in participating in the Solutions Meeting should submit an application to RRTO Innovation via e-mail to
[email protected] . The following information is required in the application (Note: Only 1 application is permitted per company NOT 1 application per topic area): ** All applications should be in the body of the email.
