About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Arizona State University, through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (ORSPA), was awarded a $5.2 million definitive cost-no-fee contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on September 1, 2023, for the Processor Reconfiguration for Wideband Sensor Systems (PROWESS) program. Under this contract, ASU will combine emerging high-density reconfigurable processing arrays with embedded real-time schedulers to develop innovative architectural approaches that jointly deliver high compute density and fast program switching capabilities. The contract has a completion date of April 30, 2025 and will be performed in Tempe, Arizona. This award does not include a set-aside designation, reflecting ASU's competitive positioning in federal research procurement. Notably, DARPA declined to exercise the Phase 2 Option 1 (valued at $11.5 million) in accordance with White House memorandum guidance on radical transparency regarding wasteful spending.

The PROWESS program aligns with DARPA's broader mission to develop next-generation processing technologies for autonomous radiofrequency systems capable of real-time situational awareness in complex electromagnetic environments. ASU is partnering with three major research institutions as subcontractors: George Mason University and the University of Michigan (both awarded subcontracts in December 2023 and March 2024, respectively) and General Dynamics Information Technology (awarded February 1, 2024). All subcontractors will collaborate on the Dynamic Runtime Domain-focused Software-Reconfigurable Heterogeneous (DR-DASH) System-on-Chip development effort. ASU's selection reflects its extensive capabilities in advanced computational systems, materials research, and engineering—domains critical to achieving DARPA's technical objectives for compute density exceeding 200 GOPS/mm² and 50-nanosecond program switching times.
