Objective Summary
Investigate, design, prototype, and experimentally evaluate advanced open-architecture methodologies and reconfigurable subsystem integration concepts within an external modular pod construct (threshold baseline: Air Force Research Laboratory [AFRL] Agile Pod). The primary R&D objective is to explore novel approaches for abstracting platform-to-payload interdependencies, solving multi-physics obscuration and thermal/electromagnetic boundary problems, and demonstrating dynamic, autonomous self-protection threat-warning, correlation, and countermeasure techniques via distributed edge compute without requiring host-platform system recertification.
The full objective, description, Phase I, II and III requirements and evaluation criteria are in the official topic on DSIP.
