Do: If you build document/data-analysis or AI summarisation tooling, contribute via the Loom GitLab issue tracker and use that contact with Kommando Cyber to position for paid integration or support work.

Cyberagentur market consultations typically precede a funded multi-lot research competition, so early input can shape scope and cost baselines for a swarm-autonomy programme. Relevant to autonomy-stack, swarm C2 and GNSS-denied navigation developers and research-heavy SMEs able to contract with a German federal agency. Do: Download the Markterkundung documents at cyberagentur.de/programme/iris and submit your effort and cost estimate plus capability profile to the Cyberagentur now, ahead of the formal IRiS call.
