Department of the Air Force Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities Consortium is dedicated to supporting the US Air Force in developing prototypes that exploit National capabilities to enhance the warfighters’ lethality, survivability, and combat effectiveness. DAF TENCAP offers federally funded research and business opportunities for large and small companies and academia, especially small and emerging companies that have not traditionally worked with the government. Upcoming solicitations will encompass a wide range of technology areas, broadly focusing on the following technology focus areas.

Approaches that fuse air, space, cyberspace, and land domain information to enhance DAF TENCAP mission support.

Large-scale analytics, multi-source data fusion, and solutions for structured/unstructured data to improve surveillance, SSA, and intelligence workflows

Technology to identify, evaluate, and implement controls to minimize operational impact in the case of external events such as supply chain failures.

Jamming system readiness, anti‑jam electronics, algorithms, and operational risk reduction tools.

Sensors and radar improvements for regional coverage; technologies for geolocation accuracy using FMV on manned/unmanned platforms.

Capabilities addressing detection, tracking, threats, and operational concerns related to UAS and small UAS.

AI, ML, neural networks, computer vision, LLMs, and related analytics to accelerate data processing, exploitation, and decision support.

Technologies that strengthen, accelerate, or close long‑range kill chains.
