IARPA is seeking information about annotated binary and source code datasets to explore authorship (for benign tools, malicious tools, or penetration testing tools) that have been annotated with relevant information that could be obtained and made available to research partners in potential future programs. A...
IARPA is seeking information on methods, studies, findings, approaches, and appropriate metrics for characterizing the cognitive effects in cyber operations. Cyberpsychology is the emerging scientific field that integrates human behavior and decision-making into the cyber domain. Techniques currently used in online advertising,...
REASON aims to develop novel technologies that will enable intelligence analysts to substantially improve the evidence and reasoning in draft analytic reports. Intelligence analysts sort through huge amounts of often uncertain and conflicting information as they strive to answer intelligence questions. REASON will assist...
For most people, the antennas in their car radio, mobile phone, and other everyday consumer devices are not something they think about. They’re primarily concerned with the performance — or lack-there-of — of their devices. Needless to say, when the performance of a personal electronic device lags or is interrupted, it can at a minimum be...
DNI.gov - The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), the research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, today announced the start of a multi-year research effort to significantly boost the performance of electrically small antennas (ESAs) — or antennas that are much smaller...
The PICARD program aims to develop a fieldable sensing platform for the rapid identification of aerosol particles with complex chemical and physical characteristics in challenging environments. The need to distinguish chemical threats from common background chemistry is critical to national security as many threat materials are or can...
Dr. Mark Becker joined IARPA in July 2022. In his current assignment as a Program Manager, Dr. Becker focuses on topics related to privacy enhancing technologies, such as anonymous communication, secure multi-party computation, and identity management. He is presently leading IARPA's efforts on the SuperTools program that aims to...
The IARPA SINTRA program aims to investigate the interaction of orbital debris with the surrounding space environment and drive the state of the art to detect, track, and characterize lethal non-trackable orbital space debris. Space debris poses a risk to all space missions, including those of the Intelligence Community (IC). With an...
FedTech - The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, the research arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, is actively working on several projects across quantum computing and neuroscience, cognitive psychology, sociology, power sources, and chemical and biological sensing, with a focus on...
Humans have long-dreamed of flying around the world and exploring never before seen locations or remote historical sites restricted to visitors. Of course, the reality is that the ability to do this is limited by gravity, ability, time, and money. But imagine if there’s a way to overcome these limitations and have similar experiences either...
WIRED - A battle royale called the SMART program has charged teams with a daunting first task: Identify construction sites on Earth using only data from orbiters. SMART stands for Space-based Machine Automated Recognition Technique, and its goal is to “harmonize” data from many kinds of Earth-watching satellites and then task software...
The Entangled Logical Qubits (ELQ) program aims to advance the state of the science in universal fault-tolerant quantum computing (UFTQC) by demonstrating high-fidelity entanglement between error-corrected logical qubits using a modular architecture. This is an essential step towards the realization of UFTQC and its potential to...
FedScoop - The intelligence community’s primary research arm launched a new program to develop software algorithm-based systems that will fuse imagery captured from various altitudes and angles — including from traffic cameras, drones, satellites and other platforms — to build immersive, photorealistic virtual environments of unfamiliar...
WRIVA BAA The WRIVA Program aims to develop software algorithm-based systems that can create photorealistic, navigable three-dimensional site models using a highly limited corpus of imagery, to include ground level imagery, surveillance height imagery (traffic camera), UAV altitude imagery, and Satellite imagery. Additionally, where...
The IARPA SINTRA program seeks to understand the interaction of orbital debris with the surrounding space environment, and whether the resulting phenomena can be used for the detection, tracking, and characterization of lethal non-trackable orbital space debris. The detection of lethal non-trackable orbital debris would enable safer operation of...

This is an essential step towards the realization of UFTQC and its potential to...
For some people, the words Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) may conjure images of a dystopian world of machines, which are stronger, think faster, have no morality, and seek to either enslave or destroy mankind. Others may view AI through a utopian lens, as an idyllic existence where autonomous...
Whenever an unexpected natural or human-driven event occurs, the movement before and after that event tells a story. Most people flee the areas of natural disasters and terrorist attacks, while first responders move in. Disruptions to roads, bridges, or critical infrastructure elements create traffic and cause people to re-route. A rise in civil...
The B24IC program will inspire and enable IARPA and the wider intelligence community to pursue novel, emerging, and high-risk research concepts which have the potential to provide the community with an overwhelming advantage in collection, analysis, and security. IARPA established the B24IC program in 2022 to meet Executive, Intelligence, and...
HAYSTAC BAA HAYSTAC aims to develop novel capabilities that produce large-scale microsimulations of fine-grained human movement and create AI reasoning engines capable of both identifying abnormal movement trajectories and generating normal ones. Technical approaches will characterize what makes a given...
