The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program focused on developing advanced, low latency peer-to-peer protocols for autonomous collaborative platforms. The objective is to create a protocol that supports optional global position information, enhances power and position awareness in hardware, and optimizes network capabilities for various configurations, including star, federated, and peer-to-peer networks. This initiative is crucial for applications such as low-cost sensor networks, logistics tracking, and secure communications in environments with limited infrastructure. The solicitation is currently in the pre-release phase, with an open date of May 28, 2025, and a close date of June 25, 2025. Interested parties can find more information and submit proposals through the official SBIR website at https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/topics-app/.
