Transforming command and control: the imperative for adaptive human-AI systems

D-Prime LLC received a $399,964 Cooperative Agreement from the Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) under the Basic Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.431), awarded June 1, 2025, with performance through May 31, 2029. The cooperative agreement supports fundamental research titled "Transforming Command and Control: The Imperative for Adaptive Human-AI Systems," which investigates advanced human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence applications relevant to military command and control operations. This research effort aligns with the Department of the Army's strategic objective to pursue high-risk, high-payoff scientific innovations that enhance long-term national security capabilities and support dominant strategic land power.

The four-year research initiative will be conducted at D-Prime LLC's facility in McLean, Virginia. As a self-certified small disadvantaged business with demonstrated expertise in artificial intelligence, human-machine systems, and advanced research methodologies, the company will develop innovative approaches and technologies to improve adaptive human-AI system integration for defense applications. The cooperative agreement structure indicates collaborative involvement between the awardee and the government in executing the research objectives outlined in the funded proposal.
