About this award

Chaos Industries, Inc. has been awarded a $1.72M Phase II SBIR contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for "Response to Deuce Coup: A Field Tested Multi-Modal Zero Shot AI Component Decision Engine." This Small Business set-aside contract, awarded on December 18, 2023, with a completion date of April 17, 2025, will be performed in Hermosa Beach, California. The award represents a Phase II SBIR action under DARPA's Small Business Innovation Research program, which funds innovative technological solutions to support the agency's mission of maintaining U.S. technological superiority. The firm fixed price contract focuses on developing an artificial intelligence-driven decision engine capable of operating across multiple data modalities with zero-shot learning capabilities, indicating technology designed for rapid adaptation to new scenarios without extensive retraining.

The contract originated from DARPA's broad agency announcement posted in January 2021, which solicits Phase I and Phase II SBIR/STTR proposals addressing game-changing technologies across multiple technical domains including autonomous systems, information systems, and advanced materials. This Phase II award follows the earlier Phase I phase of development and reflects the agency's assessment that Chaos Industries' AI component decision technology demonstrates sufficient technical merit and commercial potential to warrant continued research and development. The 24-month Phase II effort represents a significant investment in advancing autonomous decision-making capabilities with potential applications across DARPA's diverse mission areas.
