The U.S. Army Futures Command's Artificial Intelligence Integration Center (AI2C) is seeking transformative artificial intelligence research and applications through a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). The BAA aims to support new technologies and translational research-based approaches that align with the Army's priorities. The areas of interest include autonomous platforms, artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, AI-based decision making, analysis and human-machine interfaces, data visualization and synthetic environments, assured position, navigation, and timing (PNT), sensing, communications and networks, internet of things (IoT), human performance, and underpinning methodologies.
* Autonomous Platforms: Research in autonomous ground and air vehicles, robotics, and autonomous systems.
* Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Algorithms: Core algorithmic improvements, supervised learning methods, reinforcement learning, and game theoretic approaches.
* AI-Based Decision Making: Research on AI algorithms and systems to improve decision making across all echelons.
* Analysis and Human-Machine Interfaces: AI/ML research to reduce the cognitive burden on humans and improve overall performance through human-machine teaming.
* Data Visualization and Synthetic Environments: Research to enable improved situational awareness and visualization of large data sets.
* Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT): Research involving novel PNT technologies for autonomous vehicles, communications, and land navigation.
* Sensing: Developing a detailed understanding of environments and activities through sensors and associated processing.
* Communications and Networks: Research to maintain secure, reliable communications for soldiers, vehicles, and fixed locations.
* Internet of Things (IoT): Improving Army IoT through new machine learning techniques and secure, resilient network management.
* Human Performance: Technologies to reduce soldiers' mental or physical burden and allow them to react faster than their adversaries.
* Underpinning Methodologies: Methodologies, frameworks, tools, and techniques to enable advanced research and development.
