This Announcement is a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) seeking innovative commercial solutions to address capability gaps identified in support of the Business Analytics Directorate within CDAO.

The Tradewind Solutions Marketplace is the DoD’s ground-breaking enabling environment for high-tech innovation. It’s a digital repository of post-competition, readily-awardable pitch videos, which address the Government’s greatest challenges in the AI/ML, digital, and data analytics space.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) needs a comprehensive way to measure user trust in AI-enabled systems – including how trust may break down into various dimensions and its relationship to other concepts or constructs. For instance, dimensions of trust might include the extent to which an individual has confidence in the system’s accuracy vs. the extent to which an individual trusts the system because they hope that it will work; under vs. over-reliance on the system; etc. Related concepts or constructs include whether a user’s degree (and kind) of understanding of how the system functions contributes to their trust in the system; whether distrust is a separate construct from trust (vs. whether it is on the same scale); etc.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) needs risk management frameworks (RMFs), resources, and templates that can be easily implementable – with minimal training – across a wide variety of use cases and applications. These resources must be tailored and accessible to a wide variety of personas and stakeholders (including different roles such as operational commanders vs. program managers vs. senior leaders) as well as different backgrounds and skillsets (e.g. differing levels of technical background and technical facility).
