Deadlines for B-21 Raider and ARCYBER

Logo Description automatically generatedThe B-21 Training Systems Innovation Challenge

Deadline: WEDNESDAY 3 March 2021

The U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command and Rapid Capabilities Office have launched an innovation challenge on Vulcan focused on the B-21 Raider Training Systems. The results of the challenge will inform USAF decisions on the adoption of innovative solutions that enhance training systems for pilots and maintainers. The challenge is the continuation of a user-centered innovation effort spurred by a multidisciplinary USAF team (incl. end users) and—depending on merit and viability —provides the opportunity to:

  • Engage with a state-of-the-art program and receive direct operator feedback.
  • Be selected for a funded prototype demonstration
  • Be considered for other potential development and/or integration activities beyond initial demonstration.

Don't delay your engagement with this challenge. You can continue editing your submission all the way until the deadline next Wednesday 3 March 2021. Submit your innovations in Vulcan

    DoD selects industry partner to embed AI into programmes and systems

    21st May 2020 - 10:21 GMT | by The Shephard News Team Booz Allen Hamilton will deliver AI-enabled products to the US Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) under a $800 million contract from the GSA Federal Systems Integration and Management Center. If all options are exercised, work will be completed in May 2025. AI tools will support warfighting operations and be instrumental in embedding AI decision-making and analysis at all tiers of DoD operations. Booz Allen Hamilton will oversee a mix of technical services and products across the full spectrum of technical support to the JAIC Joint Warfighter National Mission Initiative. Work will include data labelling, data management, data conditioning, AI product development and the transition of AI products into new and existing fielded programmes and systems across the DoD. According to the DoD, the overall aim is to leverage the power of data to enable a ‘transformational shift across the DoD that will give the U.S. a definitive information advantage to prepare for future warfare operations'. https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/digital-battlespace/dod-selects-industry-partner-embed-ai-programmes-a/

    NAVAIR looking for emerging cyber research and development

    Mark Pomerleau CORRECTION: A previous version of this story misidentified the organization soliciting white papers as the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command. WASHINGTON — The Navy is searching for solutions from industry that can fill needed gaps in cyber warfare capabilities to secure weapon systems and exploit cyberspace. The Naval Air Systems Command Cyber Warfare Detachment is looking for white papers for research and development efforts on resilient cyber warfare capabilities, according to a Feb. 11 posting to a government contracting website. The proposals should offer advancements or improvements to fill gaps, the notice stated, listing eight buckets of technological interests: Size-, weight- and power-sensitive cyber resiliency for real-time operating systems and aviation warfare environment Access point identification, prioritization and defense Cyber-electronic warfare convergent capabilities Full acquisition cycle cybersecurity measures Cyber test, inspection and incident response concepts Cyber warning system techniques Cyber fault, risk and threat assessment methodologies Resilient network concepts NAVAIR provided a more in-depth list of 36 specific areas, including full-spectrum cyber response and enablement capabilities for multiple weapon system kill chains, sacrificial infrastructure and reactive cyber “armor,” deceptive/misinformation software and hardware capabilities, threat attribution, identification and geolocation, software defined radio protections and capabilities networking, tools for weapon system cyber protection teams for incident response and inspection, and suppression and discovery of malware command and control mechanisms to include triggering, reconnaissance and logic bombs. The command will accept responses until Feb. 10, 2022, and review them quarterly. The next phase of the program will be by invitation. https://www.c4isrnet.com/cyber/2021/02/11/navwar-looking-for-emerging-cyber-research-and-development/
