This is a $49,211,463 cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded to Kudu Dynamics LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the Tactical Proficiency Synthesis (TPS) program. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, runs through September 9, 2025.

Kudu Dynamics is a prime contractor that has received numerous federal contracts, primarily from defense agencies, to deliver cybersecurity products and services. This TPS contract is focused on advanced research in areas like artificial intelligence, cyber operations, and resilient systems engineering. Kudu Dynamics has also been awarded a $62 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract from the Air Force to provide cyber services supporting training and education programs across multiple locations through November 2025. The TPS contract is likely an extension of DARPA's broader efforts to develop innovative cybersecurity technologies and integrate them into warfighting capabilities, as detailed in the referenced $500 million broad agency announcement.
