Problem Statements

Problem Statement 1:

How can quantum-accelerated optimization be integrated into Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) and Combat Systems for real-time threat analysis in GPS-denied environments?

Problem Statement 2:

How can we unify fragmented networks, platforms, and radio systems into a single cohesive infrastructure that preserves individual functionalities while delivering automated PACE routing, dynamic mesh management, intelligent QoS, and centralized boundary security?

Problem Statement 3:

How can we develop validated, resilient Machine-to-Machine (M2M) security protocols to prevent "Synthetic Access" breaches driven by autonomous agentic AI?

Problem Statement 4:

How can we deliver resilient, agile systems that seamlessly unify Electronic Protection, Support, and Attack capabilities to dominate the electromagnetic operational environment (EMOE) across all domains?

Problem Statement 5:

How can we harden existing command and control networks against next-generation cryptographic and algorithmic threats, including advanced digital signature forgery?

Problem Statement 6:

How can we provide high-performance algorithmic execution and tactical database replication at the edge within a ruggedized form factor capable of surviving disconnected, low-bandwidth operations?

Problem Statement 7:

What are the best techniques for real-time optimization in logistics, resource allocation and autonomous swarm management across contested networks?

Problem Statement 8:

How can we deliver intuitive, error-resilient user interfaces that minimize operator cognitive load through automated combat workflows and streamlined UX/UI, allowing tactical teams to focus on high-level combat reasoning rather than menu navigation?

Problem Statement 9:

How can a singular combat network integrate disparate command structures and sensors while minimizing cognitive burden and maximizing network observability through smart flow management and CMOSS/SOSA compliance?

Problem Statement 10 - Information Advantage:

How can we integrate visual imagery, virtual reality (VR), and spatial imagery tools into command post C2 workflows to enhance situational understanding, operational visualization, and collaborative decision-making?

Problem Statement 10 - DCO:

What technology exists, or is in development, that the Army has not yet experimented with, that could be a “game changer” for assured voice and data communications, at echelon?
