About this award

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a definitive contract to Georgia TECH Research Corp for Signature Management Using Operational Knowledge and Environments (SMOKE) Phase I and II on October 5, 2022, with a ceiling value of $25.237 million under cost-no-fee pricing.

SMOKE develops signature management technologies and evasive cyber infrastructure incorporating counter-attribution techniques to quantify attribution risk in real-time and maintain evasiveness after infrastructure changes. The program spans two technical areas: automated planning and execution of attribution-aware infrastructure, and discovery and generation of infrastructure signatures. Performance occurs in Atlanta, GA, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2027.

The originating pre-solicitation, posted December 6, 2021 with proposals due January 31, 2022, anticipated multiple awards across the two technical areas and outlined evaluation metrics including time, scalability, attribution precision, recall, and F1 score. No set-aside was used in this procurement.

Subcontractors include Oregon State University, which joined Phase 2 to design and evaluate a testbed with Web3 case study component (performing months 34–46, with reporting concluding September 2026), and University of Georgia Research Foundation. Cox Georgia Telcom LLC performed telecommunications infrastructure work under subcontract beginning May 2023.
