In addition to these focused areas, developers are encouraged to submit proposals that align with broader innovation priorities identified by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD R&E). These include:

• Biotechnology
• Quantum Science
• Future Generation Wireless Technology (FutureG)
• Advanced Materials
• Trusted Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Autonomy
• Integrated Network Systems-of-Systems
• Integrated Sensing and Cyber
• Microelectronics
• Space Technology
• Renewable Energy Generation and Storage
• Advanced Computing and Software
• Human-Machine Interfaces
• Directed Energy
• Hypersonics

This event provides an opportunity for developers to showcase their cutting-edge technologies, contributing to the ongoing evolution of autonomous systems in defense and humanitarian applications.
