ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEXT GENERATION DISTRIBUTED COMMAND AND CONTROL

The Department of the Air Force is seeking innovative solutions for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Next Generation Distributed Command and Control (C2) capabilities. The goal is to transform the Department of the Air Force and Joint Force C2 capabilities across strategic, operational, and tactical levels by enabling decision makers to effectively assess the battlespace, rapidly explore, create, and select the best plan, and direct and monitor forces at pace and scale in a distributed setting. The BAA is interested in exploring new and advancing existing AI and distributed C2 concepts, including development and application of AI to C2, new concepts and techniques for the battle management and orchestration of AI at pace and scale, and distributed and collaborative C2 to enable C2 anywhere and anyplace. Key areas of interest include: • Development and application of AI to C2 • New concepts and techniques for the battle management and orchestration of AI at pace and scale • Distributed and collaborative C2 to enable C2 anywhere and anyplace • How the use of AI by adversaries can be considered in the C2 planning and execution process
