About this award

The U.S. Army Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) has awarded a $493,653 firm fixed-price definitive contract to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to develop and validate scenario-based training items focused on artificial intelligence-augmented decision making in high-stakes contexts. The contract, awarded on October 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2027, will be performed at UTA's Arlington, Texas location. The work encompasses two primary objectives: creating a comprehensive pool of training scenarios and validating the psychometric properties of the associated assessment items. This research supports the Army's broader initiatives in human-machine teaming and decision support systems, particularly relevant to military command and control environments where AI augmentation is increasingly integrated into operational workflows.

UTA, a Hispanic-Serving Institution and comprehensive research university within the University of Texas System, brings substantial federal research and development capabilities to this engagement. The university has demonstrated significant expertise in supporting defense and technological research through multiple federal contract vehicles, including a notable $97 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory for aerospace materials processing. The current contract represents a non-set-aside award reflecting UTA's established track record as a qualified research institution capable of conducting rigorous developmental and validational research for defense applications.

Description

The purpose of this research is to (1) develop a pool of scenario-based training items related to AI-augmented decision making in high stakes contexts, (2) validate the psychometric properties of these item.
