DevX Autonomy - Department of the Army

In this episode, we break down the DevX Autonomy Open Call Solicitation from the U.S. Department of the Army—a forward-leaning opportunity focused on accelerating next-generation autonomous capabilities across air, ground, and maritime domains. Issued under NAICS 541715, this open call is designed to attract both traditional defense contractors and non-traditional innovators delivering disruptive autonomy solutions.

We discuss what makes this solicitation different from traditional programs, how the open-call structure expands competitive access, and what the extended July 2026 due date signals about the Army’s long-term experimentation and scaling strategy. The episode explores key focus areas including mission-specific payloads, human–machine teaming, lethal autonomy, MOSA-based architectures, sustainment solutions, and scalable autonomy subcomponents.

Listen to the podcast to understand how DevX Autonomy fits into the Army’s broader modernization priorities, what evaluators are likely to prioritize, and how firms can align R&D, prototyping, and capture strategies ahead of award decisions.
