Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Architecture and Quantum Scaling Opportunities for Defense Operations

The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking proposals for a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project titled "Quantum-Resistant Blockchain Architecture and Quantum Scaling Opportunities for Defense Operations." The objective of this project is to assess the feasibility of quantum-resistant blockchain solutions that can secure military communications and data channels against the risks posed by quantum computing, while also establishing a roadmap for scaling these technologies within existing defense systems. This initiative is critical for enhancing the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) preparedness against emerging quantum threats and ensuring the integrity of mission-critical operations. Interested parties should note that the solicitation will be released on May 7, 2025, with an open date of May 28, 2025, and a closing date for applications set for June 25, 2025.
