On February 11, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) posted an advanced research announcement (ARA) for Resilient Analytic Platforms for Intelligence Delivery (RAPID). For best funding consideration in FY26, white papers are due by February 25.
AFRL is seeking innovative white papers for the research, development, integration, test and evaluation of advanced technologies and techniques. This effort will focus on novel cloud-based tools, automating processing workflows, standards development and enterprise integration of existing intelligence capabilities into consolidated, cyber- resilient dashboards and analysis platforms. The goal is to establish a robust foundation for planning, decision-making, and action by delivering tailored, customer-specific intelligence, analytic capabilities, and solutions. These capabilities and solutions need to be designed with cybersecurity integrated upfront and maintained throughout their lifecycle.
This ARA builds upon the foundation laid by previous AFRL BAAs FA8750-21-S-7006 Geospatial Intelligence Processing and Exploitation (GeoPEX), FA8750-17-S-7004 Knowledge Aided Geospatial-Intelligence (GEOINT) Latency reduction (KAGLAR) and BAA- RIK-14-03 Assured Cyber Architectures (ACA), extending the scope to a broader range of intelligence disciplines and a more comprehensive cyber defense posture.
Total funding for this ARA is approximately $237M. Individual awards will not normally exceed thirty-six (36) months with dollar amounts normally ranging from $10M to $50M. There is also the potential to make awards up to $99M.
