About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $995,186 cost-no-fee definitive contract to International Business Machines Corporation's Research Division on June 30, 2015, for the Field Adaptable Bayesian Arrays for Embeddable Robust Agile Leaning (FABA) program, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2016. The contract, performed in San Jose, California, represents DARPA's investment in advanced AI and machine learning research capabilities. IBM Research, operating under this contract without set-aside designation, brought its expertise in artificial intelligence and embedded systems to address the technical objectives of the FABA initiative, which focused on developing adaptable algorithmic frameworks for defense applications.
This award exemplifies IBM's ongoing strategic role as a technology innovator within DARPA's research portfolio. The cost-no-fee contract structure indicates a collaborative research arrangement typical of DARPA's approach to cutting-edge development projects. IBM's involvement in FABA complemented its broader engagement with DARPA, which has included subsequent awards such as a $3.4 million contract for developing defenses against artificial intelligence deception. The company's Research Division continues to support federal defense priorities through advanced computing research, leveraging its capabilities in machine learning and adaptive technologies to address emerging military and national security challenges.
