On August 16, the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC) posted the Cyber Quest 2025 (CQ25) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). Submissions are due by September 13, according to SAM.gov.
The character of warfare is changing as future conflicts will not solely be fought in the physical domain. The virtual domains of cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum are increasingly becoming the decisive battlegrounds of future wars. The Army is meeting this complex challenge by developing capabilities to compete and win our nation’s wars in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO).
To accelerate its modernization efforts, AFC is conducting Army Focused Warfighting Experiments (AFWE) that provide government, industry, and academia partners an opportunity to demonstrate technologies which address MDO aligned capability gaps. AFC’s Cyber Battle Laboratory (CBL) has been tasked to identify those partners interested in demonstrating technology solutions that have the potential to address the Army’s Cyber, Signal, Information Advantage, and Electronic Warfare (EW) capability gaps at CQ25.
Cyber Quest is an annual data-centric AFWE that provides capability development and acquisition communities a unique, realistic, operationally based environment to inform critical capability gaps facing Cyber, Electronic Warfare, Intelligence and Signal operational forces. CQ is conducted at Fort Eisenhower, GA and is focused on Brigade and above echelons. The experiment will drive requirements definition, inform rapid acquisition initiatives, and support acquisition risk reduction activities.
The event brings soldiers from Army Cyber Command, Forces Command, Army Futures Command, and International Partners to evaluate emerging Cyber, Electronic Warfare, Intelligence and Signal solutions/technologies against MDO aligned critical capability gaps. The outcome will inform capability development requirements for MDO 2028, Organizational and Operational Concepts, and Cross Functional Team priorities.
CBL will partner with the Intelligence and Mission Command Battle Labs during CQ25 to support the experimentation of MDO concepts from the disadvantaged tactical user to echelons above brigade.
