The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I program. The specific topic of the solicitation is "Quantum Algorithms for Military Cargo Transport" and is under the branch of the Air Force. The objective of this topic is to develop and document quantum algorithms and quantum computer specifications for solving military cargo transport problems, from regional to global coverage, while accommodating disruptions consistent with wartime operations. The military cargo transport problem involves assigning payload, support materials, aircrew, and routes to aircraft, with increasing complexity as the solution timeframe lengthens. The current solution optimization using classical computing is intractable, requiring more processing time than practical real-world operations allow. Quantum computing shows promise for resource allocation problems, and the goal is to achieve optimal solutions on operationally relevant timelines. The Phase I awardees will analyze the problem, develop quantum algorithms or hybrid classical-quantum algorithms, and recommend specifications for quantum computing architectures. In Phase II, the awardees will prototype or develop approaches to prototype the recommended system and assess its utility and quantum advantage. In Phase III, a strategy for transitioning the technology will be developed. The project duration is not specified, and funding specifics can be found on the solicitation agency's website.
