The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Cynnovative, LLC a $29.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract on September 30, 2022, for the Signature Management Using Operational Knowledge and Environments (SMOKE) program. The contract, which extends through March 21, 2026, supports DARPA's cyber operations research initiatives with performance in Arlington, Virginia. Under SMOKE, Cynnovative will develop signature management technologies designed to generate evasive cyber infrastructure incorporating counter-attribution techniques, quantitatively measure attribution risk in real-time, and maintain infrastructure evasiveness following configuration changes. The program encompasses two primary technical areas: automated planning and execution of attribution-aware infrastructure, and discovery and generation of infrastructure signatures, with evaluation metrics including time, scalability, attribution precision, recall, and F1 score. This award represents a significant expansion from the original pre-solicitation estimate of $15 million over five years, reflecting the program's evolution and scope. Cynnovative, a for-profit subchapter S corporation specializing in advanced research and development for defense and intelligence agencies, brings expertise in cyber operations, data science, and artificial intelligence to support DARPA's mission to accelerate cyber operations capabilities and eliminate signatures as attribution sources. The contract carries no set-aside designation and was awarded through open competition. This engagement aligns with Cynnovative's established portfolio of sophisticated research and development contracts with DARPA and reinforces the company's position as a prime research partner in emerging national security technologies.
