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 "Multiple Hypothesis Management" under the Air Force branch. The objective is to develop a methodology and prototype software that enables autonomous hypothesis management and resolution of potential courses of action based on available data. The technology falls under the Trusted AI and Autonomy critical technology area. The focus is on developing a method to manage large decision spaces where multiple hypotheses need to be considered and analyzed spatially and temporally. The solution should automate the evaluation of options and present the best alternatives clearly and concisely. The Phase I project will involve developing the methodology, conducting analysis of alternatives, and developing an architecture for the proposed solution. Phase II will focus on developing a prototype software solution that implements the chosen methodology and integrates available data types and sources. The performance of the solution will be tested using real-world data. Phase III may include implementing the prototype software in operational environments for assessment by analysts against real-world, real-time data. The expected Technology Readiness Level (TRL) at Phase III entry is 5. The project duration is not specified, but the application due date is June 12, 2024.
