STRIKE AI - AI-Enabled Mission Planning for Defense of Operational Technology Critical Infrastructure
SBIR Opportunity Analysis
The Defense Logistics Agency, under the Department of Defense, is seeking SBIR proposals for STRIKE AI, an AI-enabled mission planning system to help defend operational technology critical infrastructure from coordinated cyber and physical threats. The effort aims to automate and accelerate the planning, synchronization, and coordination of defensive and offensive actions by interpreting commander’s intent, modeling OT environments and threats, ingesting intelligence, and generating deconflicted response plans for cyber and physical assets with human oversight for review and approval. Phase I is a proof of concept for a simple OT scenario and is capped at 12 months and $100,000, while Phase II would expand the prototype to more complex scenarios with real-time threat intelligence, a higher-fidelity interface, and testing in a relevant environment, capped at 24 months and $1,000,000. The solicitation is in pre-release, opens May 27, 2026, and closes June 24, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.; Phase III proposals are submitted by email to DLA SBIR2@dla.mil.
