The Department of the Air Force Advanced Battle Management System Cross Functional Team and Air Force Research Laboratory, 711 Human Performance Wing, have issued a request for proposals for a Transformational Model–Battle Management Match Effectors Decision Advantage Sprint for Human-machine teaming.
According to the notice issued on SAM.gov Tuesday, the tentative date for the MEF DASH is July 21 to August 25. It will be held at the Howard Hughes Operations, or H2O, Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Decision Advantage Sprint for Human-Machine Teaming Events
DASH events are designed to support the ABMS Transformational Model—Battle Management. They provide a platform for exploring and understanding various artificial intelligence and autonomy approaches aimed at enhancing command and control decision-making, which creates advantages in modern warfare.
One key objective of the DASH events is to boost military personnel’s involvement in the development of AI/autonomy. The warfighter can help identify specific areas where autonomy can significantly advance a joint all-domain, or JAD, battle manager. Furthermore, the events are meant to enhance industry collaboration. Teams are allowed to connect with industries involved in developing battle management autonomy functions.

During the DASH event, software development teams observe a battle management crew making decisions in a simulated combat environment. The developers then build applications and microservices that enhance battle management decision-making using the Transformational Model and their own creativity.
Battle management warfighters will collaborate with coders to provide operational feedback. The teams can then showcase their software after the event. The software will be evaluated for its effect on overall human-machine team decision-making. Teams selected to continue after the experiment phase will retain their intellectual property. Government stakeholders can analyze collected sprint data to develop and refine C2 software requirements.
Interested parties can submit their proposals until June 13.
