About this award
This is a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract awarded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to RTX BBN Technologies, Inc. (doing business as BBN Technologies) for the Robust Automatic Transcription of Speech (RATS) Phases 4 and 5 follow-on effort. The $3,624,804.00 contract does not have a set-aside designation.
The objectives of Phases 4 and 5 are to investigate new techniques for adapting the RATS algorithms to perform well on field-collected signals that were previously unavailable for training, continue monitoring the effectiveness of the adaptation through frequent evaluations, and collect and annotate more field data for the adaptation and evaluation process.
The contract has two subcontractors: the University of California, San Diego and Vysoke Uceni Technicke V Brne (VUT), a state-controlled institution of higher learning in Cekya. These subcontractors are likely providing research, technical expertise, and other support services to assist with the contract's goals.
As a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies Corporation, BBN Technologies has a long history of delivering innovative solutions to DARPA and other defense, intelligence, and scientific agencies, with a focus on cutting-edge areas such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems.
