Broad Agency Announcement: Joint All Domain Persistent Adaptive Collaborative Technologies II (JADPACT II)

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/PZL), is seeking research and development services under solicitation FA238426SB004. Known as Joint All Domain Persistent Adaptive Collaborative Technologies II (JADPACT II), this project explores command and control (C2) concepts that facilitate the use of artificial intelligence and autonomy. This initiative is classified under NAICS 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC AC11 for National Defense R&D Services; Department of Defense - Military; Basic Research. The primary objective is to incorporate warfighter involvement into the development of AI, machine learning, and Human-Machine Teaming (HMT) to identify functional areas where automation can assist in decision-making.

Research and development activities are facilitated through C2 Decision Advantage Events, which allow for the exploration of various AI and automation approaches to support C2-associated decisions. For each individual event, the agency will issue a specific Closed Call containing further details. Proposals submitted in response to these calls must describe a potential product solution, address all technical requirements, and demonstrate an understanding of the decision function through the inclusion of an unclassified military use case vignette. The solicitation includes seven attachments, such as the JADPACT II Statement of Objectives and a security program questionnaire.

The performance of this research aims to achieve decision advantage through advanced technological integration. Michelle Goss is the point of contact for this solicitation, which was published on February 12, 2026. Interested parties must submit their responses by the deadline of February 18, 2029.
