Broad Agency Announcement for Intelligence Technology Discovery Experiment (ITDX) 2026 DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION: No award will be made because of this request. This RFI is for informational and planning purposes only. This is not an Invitation for a Bid, a Request for a Proposal, or a Request for a Quotation. No solicitation document exists, and a formal solicitation will not be issued by the Government after receiving responses to this RFI. The Government will not be liable for payment of any costs incurred in response to this RFI, participation in the Intelligence Technology Discovery Experiment 2026, and is under no obligation to act in any way on the information received. No costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will be reimbursed. The information provided may be used by the Army in developing a future acquisition strategy, Performance Work Statement, Statement of Objectives and/or Performance Based Specification(s). Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or competition sensitive information contained in their response. PURPOSE: The U.S. Army Futures and Concepts Center (FCC), through its Intelligence Concepts & Experimentation Division (ICED), will conduct an experiment to examine solutions for future requirements within the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain. The purpose of this experiment is to identify and explore the development of specific algorithms necessary to create a Minimally Viable Product (MVP) for a future "AI Analyst." This AI Analyst will be a multi-technology AI tool designed to assist Military Intelligence (MI) Professionals by performing intelligence tasks to the same standard as a human analyst, ultimately enabling the Army to gain and maintain operational and tactical advantages. BACKGROUND: The Army Intelligence Enterprise needs to adopt and incorporate advanced AI technologies to keep pace with the complexities of the future battlefield. To address this, the ICED S&T team has been tasked to develop an AI Analyst. While many AI technologies currently exist, they have not been specifically tailored to the unique, multi-faceted tasks performed by intelligence analysts. This experiment, ITDX26, will explore the best existing and emerging technologies and inform how they can be adapted to build and test the specific algorithms required for the AI Analyst MVP. This effort is critical to developing a new capability that will enhance the speed and fidelity of the Army's decision-making process. INFORMATION REQUESTED: Interested parties with the ability to prototype and demonstrate emerging AI capabilities that answer the below technology focus area should submit a whitepaper not to exceed 10 pages in length. In addition, interested parties are required to submit a one-page PowerPoint technology quad chart depicting an image of the capability, a capability description, objectives for the event, and a point of contact.
