Dr. Mickey Batson joined IARPA in March 2024. In his current assignment as a Program Manager, Dr. Batson focuses on areas of scientific research that includes electromagnetics, ionosphere geophysics, ionosphere chemistry, and plasma physics. He is presently leading IARPA's...
The ubiquity of imagery produced by security cameras is difficult to measure. In fact, for CCTV security cameras alone, there are, globally, more than one billion in continuous operation1. Even for a single facility such as a school or office building with far fewer security cameras,...
The SOLSTICE program aims to develop novel solar-powered and hybrid solar-powered systems with significantly higher power density than existing technologies. These systems will be capable of maintaining high power output over their mission lifetime in challenging remote applications, including in an earth-orbital environment (Track 1)...
Mini battery-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) come in all shapes and sizes and have become ubiquitous in both the private and public sectors. They’re used for a wide variety of activities and missions, including recreation, commerce, intelligence gathering, and warfighting. However, while UAVs provide great enjoyment and utility, they...
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) seeks information regarding innovations in Biomimetic and Bioinspired Supercapacitors (BBS) that could achieve a substantial leap in power storage. To this end, IARPA is interested in understanding the current research landscape of BBS approaches and those technical hurdles that...
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) seeks information regarding innovative approaches to generative artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) models to achieve a revolutionary leap in applications of science and engineering by generating smaller evolutionary products of math, algorithms, or signal...
Dr. Brian Borak joined IARPA in August 2023. In his current assignment as a Program Manager, Dr. Borak focuses on areas of scientific/engineering research related to energy conversion, including solar energy, optics, and materials engineering. Prior to joining IARPA, Dr. Borak worked...
Welcome to IARPA: Disbelief to Doubt the new podcast from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). Disbelief to Doubt will explore our 15+ year history of pushing the boundaries of science and being at the forefront of innovation all in service to our nation.Coming...
The SOLSTICE program aims to develop resilient and higher energy yielding power systems for space systems to help meet the U.S. Intelligence Community’s increasing need to power energy-intensive payloads for longer durations. Power systems on platforms deployed in space frequently limit the operation and scope of onboard...
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 aimed at developing technology to detect and identify potentially harmful aerosolized chemicals in challenging...
DNI.gov The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — the research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — today launched an innovative program that, for the first time, takes aim at the psychology of a cyber...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly integrating into daily lives in the U.S. and around the world. From AI applications on our smart phones, to smart speakers and appliances, and through language applications like ChatGPT, AI is revolutionizing the way humans live their lives. Similarly, for the Intelligence Community (IC), AI has...
DNI.gov The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — the research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — today launched a new quantum computing program aimed at overcoming the field’s next major challenge en route to its promise of solving physics, chemistry, and...
If you’ve been following numerous media stories over the last few years, you already know that quantum computing promises to be the next big thing in computing and is under feverish development by countries and companies across the globe. While the promises may hold true, the reality is that today’s computers and...
The Video LINCS program aims to develop novel capabilities to autonomously re-identify objects across diverse video sensor collections and map all objects to a common reference frame. Re-identification (reID) is the process of matching the same object across a video collection, to determine where the object appears throughout the video. ...
Dr. Adam L. Anderson joined IARPA in December of 2023. In his current assignment as a Program Manager, Dr. Anderson focuses on scientific research that includes novel applications of machine learning and communication systems. Prior to joining IARPA, he was a Senior Scientist supporting work at...
The Video LINCS program aims to develop re-identification methods that autonomously associate objects across diverse, non-collaborative, video sensor footage, to distill raw pixel data into spatio-temporal motion vectors, providing the ability to analyze these patterns for anomalies and threats. The goal of the Video LINCS program, is...
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is seeking information on the current state of the art (SOTA) and future direction of analytical instruments capable of detecting, identifying, and characterizing the multitude of biomolecules that constitute or are associated with biological systems and materials. Such...
