What they’re asking for

The BAA explores new and existing AI and distributed C2 concepts for Joint All-Domain C2: assessing the battlespace, planning, and directing forces at pace in a distributed setting. Named interests include applying AI to C2, battle-managing AI at scale, accounting for adversary AI in planning, and collaborative C2 that can run from more than one node. Technical-area details, including which TAs are still open, are in the SAM.gov attachment.
