ASCA is calling for cutting edge, innovative proposals for projects for the capability effect of Decision Advantage, under the Emerging and Disruptive Technologies Program. Projects can be up to 48 months duration.
Decision Advantage refers to the ability to process, analyse and act upon information faster and more accurately than adversaries.
Proposals must apply one or more of the Technology Areas of Interest to the following Opportunity Statements:
Situational Awareness and Decision Support
- accelerating processing, exploration and dissemination of sensor and operational data into accurate and relevant knowledge
- enabling decision makers to generate actionable and effective courses of action across multi-domain operations
- coordinating data fusion with AI processes to enhance efficient coordination of distributed teams of Defence platforms and capabilities
- leveraging and integrating predictive analytics, assured delivery systems and AI to automate, predict and optimise supply chain and sustainment support
Information Warfare
- anticipating, detecting, identifying, mitigating and/or exploiting deceptive tactics in adversary signals or behaviours
- creating and/or taking advantage of vulnerabilities in adversary decision making and operations
Technology Areas of Interest
- automated data integration and interpretation
- machine reasoning
- multi-modal data fusion
- augmented human-machine reasoning
- AI agents
- AI multi-modal foundation model
- AI orchestration
A Co-Design Workshop will be held Friday 22 November 2024. Attendance can be in-person (Canberra) or virtual.
Register here before 19 November 2024.
Proposals are to be submitted via AusTender by 2pm (ACT Time), 24 January 2025. (AusTender Ref: RFP49875 ASCA EDT DA)
