Improving Battle Planning through AI

The Department of Defense, specifically the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) topic titled "Improving Battle Planning through AI." The objective is to develop innovative technologies that enhance federated course of action (COA) planning and accelerate COA adjudication using customized reduced-order models (ROMs), which will facilitate rapid decision-making in complex battlespace scenarios. This initiative is critical for improving military planning capabilities and ensuring adaptability in dynamic operational environments. Proposals are due by June 25, 2025, and must demonstrate existing technical maturity and feasibility, with a focus on dual-use applications in both military and commercial sectors.
