USC Viterbi School of Engineering - Do humans trust AI assistants? If so, when? If not, why? Do human-AI collaborations fare better than AI or human intuition alone?... To quantify such human-machine relationships, we need a lot of humans willing to try to collaborate with AI in a lab...
Federal News Network - The intelligence community awarded four contracts to build out a program that will allow artificial intelligence to tag and track satellite images. The Space-based Machine Automated Recognition Technique (SMART) is an undertaking by the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity — the IC’s high risk,...
DNI.gov - The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, announced today a multi-year research effort called the Space-based Machine Automated Recognition Technique (SMART) program. SMART will automate broad-area search of multi-source satellite...
Nextgov - The intelligence community wants to put biometric identification technology on drones but has hit a wall when it comes to the most widely used biometric: facial recognition....The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, or IARPA, issued a broad agency announcement solicitation for its latest attempt to improve...
MIT News - Recent research suggests that most languages that have ever existed are no longer spoken. Dozens of these dead languages are also considered to be lost, or “undeciphered” — that is, we don’t know enough about their grammar, vocabulary, or syntax to be able to actually understand their texts. ... The project was...
SMART automates broad-area search of multi-source satellite imagery to detect, monitor, and characterize the progression of anthropogenic or natural processes, such as heavy construction or crop growth. By augmenting the manual imagery analysis process with global-scale image processing and machine learning, SMART provides timely...
The RESILIENCE program seeks to develop reliable power solutions to enable increased mission run-times for electronics used by the Intelligence Community. RESILIENCE is designed to increase power solution energy densities by up to 2x and calendar life by up to 10x beyond the performance of commercial...
The BRIAR program aims to provide the U.S. Intelligence Community with the ability to perform accurate and reliable biometric identity intelligence across a wider range of imagery and collected from a wider selection of sensor platforms. The BRIAR program began in November 2021, with the goal of developing software algorithm-based...
The SCISRS program seeks to develop smart radio techniques to automatically detect and characterize RF anomalies that may indicate a compromise of secure data in complex RF environments. The specific types of anomalies include low probability of intercept (LPI) signals, altered or mimicked signals, and abnormal unintended...
Dr. Jack Cooper rejoined IARPA in January 2025 as the Office Director for Analysis, now leading the office where he previously served as a Program Manager. Prior to returning to IARPA, Dr. Cooper was the Division Chief for Predictive & Forensic Analytics at the National Geospatial-Intelligence...
Allen Institute - To truly understand the brain, we need a roadmap of how it’s wired. The gold standard for studying the cellular architecture and the connectivity of brain cells is what scientists call serial-section electron microscopy. ... In 2016, with the support of IARPA, the Allen Institute for Brain Science joined a collaboration with Ba...
SIGNAL - The cloud computing infrastructure at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity allowed the organization to pivot to a new teleworking norm during the pandemic that’s not much different than the old norm. The organization has conducted business as usual, hiring program...
OneZero - Almost as soon as the coronavirus appeared in the news, so too did speculation that it was purposefully engineered, the result of experimentation at one of several Wuhan laboratories....On April 30, the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence declared, on behalf of the 17 different...
Syracuse University - An application developed by a team based at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies and its Center for Computational and Data Science has been selected as a 2019 TechConnect Defense Innovation Awardee. The research that led to the TRACE app was supported by a...
SIGNAL - Two research programs at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency, commonly known as IARPA, are now undergoing evaluation to see if they may provide solutions to help counter the growing COVID-19...
SIGNAL - Catherine Marsh, director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, is hiring personnel to fill several new office director positions. The new personnel will help recruit program managers, develop and guide programs, and strengthen relationships with the intelligence community, enhancing the...
Federal News Network - The intelligence community is looking for what it calls tools and technologies for rapid capabilities against the pandemic. And it’s calling on industry and academia for proposals. Promising ones will get seedling awards to develop them further. Federal Drive with Tom Temin turned to the deputy director of research at t...
USC Viterbi School of Engineering - Biometrics systems like iris scanning or fingerprint recognition are no longer fantastical concepts of a distant sci-fi future. From iPhone fingerprint authentication to facial recognition systems in airports, it’s safe to say that the future is very much right now...."As these...
Technology Networks - Air Force Research Laboratory scientists are working with University of Michigan and Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity researchers to build and test a revolutionary chemical sensing device that can detect acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS) associated with COVID-19...
EurekAlert! - Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology examined how cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition relate to neuronal health in 290 healthy young adults. ... The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Intelligence Advanced Research Projects supported this research.
