About this award
Lockheed Martin Corporation's Advanced Technology Laboratories division received a $37.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on August 12, 2020, for the DAC Integration and Contextual Explanation (DICE) program. The contract supports research and development of a prototype Semantic Forensic (SEMAFOR) system designed to automatically detect, attribute, and characterize falsified multi-modal media assets including text, audio, images, and video. Work is being performed at Lockheed Martin's facility in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, with an ultimate completion date of October 11, 2026. This effort aligns with DARPA's broader Semantic Forensics program, which seeks to develop technologies capable of identifying media that has been generated or manipulated, determining attribution to particular organizations or individuals, and characterizing whether manipulated content was created for malicious purposes.
The contract engages multiple specialized subcontractors to support the SEMAFOR development effort, including Raytheon Applied Signal Technology, Inc. for signal analysis and technical services; Charles River Analytics, Inc. for advanced analytics and artificial intelligence capabilities; Boston Fusion Corp for machine learning and data analysis expertise; and Dell entities (Dell Federal Systems L.P. and Dell Marketing L.P.) for enterprise computing hardware and infrastructure support. Additional subcontractor support is provided by Countertrade Products, Inc., a women-owned small business, for IT hardware provisioning, and Blue Ridge Dynamics, Inc. for specialized services. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents one component of DARPA's multi-year initiative to develop semantic methods for analyzing large-scale falsified communications, with the program structured to deliver detection technologies and evaluation capabilities across a 3-5 year research period.
