Description
The U.S. Army’s DevX Autonomy open‑call seeks innovative autonomous‑unmanned‑system (AUS) hardware, software, payloads, microelectronics, and sustainment solutions. Participants submit a ≤ 6‑minute video pitch through an online portal, describing the problem addressed, qualifications, technical merit, and alignment with Army objectives. Submissions are collected monthly, assessed by government SMEs, and award‑ready solutions may be negotiated under streamlined DFARS pathways without further competition. This opportunity is aimed at U.S. companies (including non‑traditional defense firms) that can demonstrate ready‑to‑integrate AUS technologies and are willing to grant the government a broad, perpetual, royalty‑free license to use the submitted material.
• Eligible focus areas include autonomous platforms, payloads, mission‑enabling software, lethal‑effect enhancements, sustainment kits, sub‑components, disruptive autonomy tech, and secure microelectronics.
• No budget ceiling is disclosed; pricing will be negotiated after a solution is deemed award‑ready.
• Submissions open Dec 30 2025 and close Oct 31 2026; monthly cut‑offs are at 12:00 PM EST on the last day of each month, with assessment results issued within 30 days.
• Applicants must have a SAM.gov UEI, comply with export‑control rules, and submit unclassified content only.
