About this award
The University of New South Wales (UNSW) has been awarded a $231,564.38 firm fixed-price definitive contract by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) to conduct fundamental research on cyber resilience assessment approaches. The contract, awarded on April 8, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of April 7, 2026, focuses on developing assessment methodologies that measure an organization's ability to absorb, recover from, and adapt to cyber-attacks. Performance of work will take place in Australia, where UNSW maintains its primary research operations. This award was issued without a set-aside designation and emerged from a broader Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Indo-Pacific, which sought innovative research proposals across multiple scientific domains to support military capabilities and operations in the Indo-Pacific region.
UNSW, a prominent Australian research institution and established federal contractor, brings substantial expertise in defense-related research and advanced technological development to this engagement. The university has a demonstrated track record executing complex research initiatives for defense agencies, including prior work with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Army Research, Development and Engineering Command on projects ranging from autonomous systems ethics to advanced technological applications. The cyber resilience research under this contract aligns with critical Department of Defense priorities in enhancing organizational defensive capabilities and operational resilience against evolving cyber threats, supporting the Army's strategic technology initiatives in the Indo-Pacific region.
