Description
DARPA’s Information Processing Techniques Office is conducting a market‑research “shopping” campaign on its ERIS marketplace to locate existing or new solutions that enable decentralized, distributed, and horizontally integrated command‑and‑control for heterogeneous combat agents (e.g., UAVs, satellite constellations, sensing grids). Vendors may submit a short video demonstrating an awardable solution at any time between August 2026 and July 2027; each submission must be accompanied by an email notification to [email protected]. DARPA will assess submissions month‑by‑month and may award contracts to solutions deemed awardable, with no specific contract vehicle disclosed. This is a non‑binding solicitation; no detailed technical proposal is required at this stage.
• Focus on edge‑centric, low‑compute, scalable control, estimation, and coordination algorithms for 1,000+ nodes.
• Desired innovations include “sense‑act” architectures, robust autonomy under contested, bandwidth‑limited conditions, and cross‑domain applicability.
• Submission consists of a video (uploaded via the ERIS portal) and an email notice; no formal written proposal is needed.
