Phase I

Is the opportunity to establish the scientific, technical, commercial merit and feasibility of your proposed innovation.

Command Electromagnetic Management & Command-node Awareness, Management, and Obscuration (CEMA CAMO)

A soldier in camouflage uniform kneels outdoors while operating a handheld device connected to a tall cylindrical piece of equipment mounted on a backpack.

​​Develop and demonstrate Command Electromagnetic Management & Command-node Awareness, Management, and Obscuration (CEMA CAMO), a low-cost, distributed, and attritable electromagnetic spectrum capability that enhances Command Post Survivability and RF Signature Management during Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). The desired capability will employ distributed, software-configurable nodes to sense and shape the electromagnetic environment, creating controlled electromagnetic ambiguity that complicates adversary intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), reduces targeting confidence, and degrades adversary decision-making and targeting cycles while preserving friendly freedom of maneuver. The capability will be demonstrated in partnership with Joint Innovation Out Post (JIOP) through XVIII Airborne Corps (XVIII ABC) experimentation to assess operational effectiveness, inform capability refinement, and demonstrate integration with Army formations and command-and-control architectures.​

Asymmetric Collaborative Counter Swarm

Drones

​​Develop and integrate a distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that can collaboratively command and control a multi-agent Group 1 or Group 2 Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) swarm to defend an area against a numerically superior enemy swarm.  AI system must be able to interface with existing, standard platform autonomy and perception systems.  System must also not rely on a centralized control node.

xTech|Inversion Competition

xTech Inversion

​The U.S. Army is seeking information from eligible small businesses across the U.S. to identify and advance commercialization pathways for a curated portfolio of high-potential Army Intellectual Property (IP) sets through the xTech|Inversion competition. This platform offers participants the opportunity to engage with the Department of War (DoW), earn prize money and submit a Phase I Army SBIR proposal.

Multifrequency Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Antenna Solution

Rocket System launch pods

The modern battlefield includes Electronic Warfare (EW) targeting a variety of RF signals, making single-frequency systems vulnerable to brute-force jamming. PGMs require frequency diversity in small, gun hardened, PGM Form Factor (FF) patch antennas to support a variety of M-GNSS and SoOp PNT signals and ensure successful operations in a contested EW environment.
