Summary
The FLUID program, initiated by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), seeks innovative solutions to enhance the functionality of Command, Control, Computing, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (C5ISRT) systems under challenging network conditions characterized as Degraded, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL). The primary objective is to reduce the communication load of these systems without compromising their utility, enabling them to operate effectively even under severe capacity degradation. This opportunity is particularly suited for contractors with expertise in advanced networking technologies, software-defined networking, and those capable of developing resilient communication solutions that can adapt to fluctuating bandwidth conditions. The program is structured into phases, with multiple awards anticipated, and aims to foster collaboration between traditional defense contractors and non-traditional entities, including universities and startups.
