About this opportunity
DARPA SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.BZ, Release 5) — Accepting submissions 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-23. Objective: Develop and demonstrate a mission-aware semantic communications capability for low-SWaP tactical ISR platforms that reduces transmitted multimodal ISR data while preserving mission-relevant context under degraded, disrupted, intermittent, and limited communications. Phase II prototypes shall demonstrate threshold = 90 percent (10X) reduction versus full-frame mission-video baselines with preserved mission utility, with objective = 95-99 percent reduction in mission-suitable scenes, traceable and object-agnostic selection of regions and events, real-time embedded execution, and a path to = 2 W incremental compute power on representative Group 1 and Group 2 ...
