DAF26TZ06-NV006 TITLE: Artificial Intelligence Performance Evaluation Tool RFP

Description: The Department of the Air Force is seeking Phase I STTR proposals for an Artificial Intelligence Performance Evaluation Tool supporting the evaluation of AI-enabled systems in Air Force test and evaluation missions. The effort covers AI performance metrics, sensor-suite evaluation, simulation-environment integration, robustness testing, explainability, data-drift detection, and development of a scalable prototype architecture. The official instructions identify the anticipated awards as primarily firm-fixed-price contracts rather than grants, with Phase I feasibility work and deliverables supporting later prototype development.
