Tender ID: 574122
Tender Details
Tender Description
Army Innovation Day 2025 (AID 25) Challenge:
Army must enhance the range and lethality, sustainment and survivability of the land force to be ready to fight wars and continually adapt to complexity in ‘cluttered’ littoral environments.
Emerging technologies are accelerating the pace of change in warfare, driving new concepts to realise military effects and enhance existing capabilities. AID 25 emphasises Land-Air Autonomous Tactical Teaming in the Littoral at Scale (LAATT-LS) in order to generate and scale emerging and disruptive technologies with application to Army’s mission and primary operating environment.
Army seeks submissions demonstrating innovative capabilities to enhance the range and lethality, sustainment, and survivability of Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS)-enabled forces for operations in distributed littoral environments. Capabilities should ehance RAS-enabled platoon and troop sized forces, focused on the application of artificial intelligence (AI), autonomy, quantum technologies and power and energy technologies.
For AID 25, Army places elevated emphasis on ‘speed to capability’ innovations and the rapid development and adaptation of field-ready prototype software and hardware systems. AID 25 aims to continuously adapt use-cases in the field, refining technology, concepts of employment and accelerating systems into soldiers’ hands.
This Challenge focuses on systems that meet a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) span of TRL 5 to TRL 8. Submissions must provide Army with a Minimum Prototype Quantity (MPQ) of technologies and/or systems with characteristics and capacity to facilitate Test and Evaluation (T&E) and iteration within dedicated Army units. Submissions must be viable (subject to development in collaboration with Army) for Army use on Talisman Sabre 2027.
