About this opportunity
Navy STTR topic — Accepting submissions 2026-12-02 to 2027-01-06. Current methods of heterogeneous swarming control often involve individual entities with incompatible messaging protocols, ridged data interpretation, and lack of broader situational awareness, generating a protocol/perception problem that results in fragmented decision-making. Model Context Protocol (MCP), Large Language Models (LLMs), and related Agentic AI architectures, can enable a Universal Serial Bus Type C (USB-C) solution to this fragmentation problem by allowing individual entities to communicate with human operators or other entities through natural language. The Department of the Navy is seeking development of Agentic AI-enabled COTS small UAVs or small UGVs USB-C capabilities for demonstration of applicability ...
