Call 01 - Joint All Domain Persistent Adaptive Collaborative Technologies II (JADPACT II)

Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force, AFRL/PZL, has issued Call 01 - Joint All Domain Persistent Adaptive Collaborative Technologies II (JADPACT II), a solicitation (FA2384-26-S-B005) seeking innovative solutions for Human-Machine Teaming (HMT) concepts. This effort aims to leverage AI/Automation capabilities to support Battle Managers and enhance Command and Control (C2) Decision Advantage, aligning with the Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) Campaign Plan 2030. Proposals are due March 14, 2026.

Scope of Work

This opportunity focuses on developing and adapting cutting-edge AI/automation approaches for Battle Management. The work involves understanding and aligning with the Transformational Model (TM) for Decision Advantage, which decomposes C2 decisions into 13 subfunctions within an HMT framework. Offerors will develop emerging C2 solutions that support decision-making in complex, high-volume battle management scenarios. Key performance includes successful live integration with the Government Digital Assist Orchestrator during MASH (Multi-Decision Advantage Sprint for Human-Machine Teaming) events, demonstrating functional relevance of AI tools, and contributing to human-machine team performance by enabling faster and better decisions.
