Resilient Voice-Enabled Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistant Service

The United States Space Force is seeking a vendor to design and demonstrate the feasibility of a secure, edge-deployable, voice-enabled artificial intelligence assistant. This assistant must provide hands-free command and control of autonomous logistics systems, enabling personnel to operate robotic assets safely and efficiently during rapid cargo movements. The system must solve the challenge of operating in high-noise expeditionary and spaceport acoustic environments while functioning in disconnected, denied, degraded, or disrupted conditions without relying on persistent cloud connectivity. The scope of work requires the development and training of resilient speech-to-text and intent-recognition models optimized for extreme noise. The selected vendor must evaluate the performance of the assistant on representative edge-computing hardware to validate latency, processing requirements, and disconnected functionality. Deliverables include a system architecture and design document outlining technical specifications and security frameworks, as well as a validated voice-command lexicon of mission-relevant logistics commands. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all work to be conducted offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a pre-established funding limit or specific key dates in the initial solicitation.
