Collaborative Autonomy Software Framework Development
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is conducting market research to identify a primary developer for an advanced, Government-owned collaborative autonomy software framework. This open-architecture stack enables autonomous capabilities across crewed and uncrewed systems, evolving from prior AFRL multi-agent swarming architectures. The objective is to evaluate industry capability for continuous software development, applied research, testing, and maturation under the DoDI 5000.87 Software Acquisition Pathway. Scope includes developing core software logic, integrating onto diverse platforms, incorporating third-party capabilities, researching future autonomy behaviors, and developing ground station integration. No specific timelines, budget amounts, or performance locations are mentioned in this description.
