SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/WISJ) seeks organizations capable of serving as the primary developer for a government-owned collaborative autonomy software framework. This initiative centers on an advanced, open-architecture software stack intended to enable collaborative, autonomous capabilities across various crewed and uncrewed systems. The framework builds upon complex, multi-agent swarming autonomy architectures previously established under Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) projects.
The effort encompasses continuous software development, applied research, rigorous testing, and the maturation of the software in alignment with the DoDI 5000.87 Software Acquisition Pathway. Responsibilities include developing and advancing the core software logic, integrating the framework onto multiple platform types, incorporating third-party vendor solutions, conducting research on emerging autonomy behaviors, and supporting integration with ground stations. The government aims to assess industry capabilities for this diverse and critical software development effort.
