The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $2.93M Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract to Trusted Science and Technology, Inc. for the COLOSSEUM project (Crypto-Engineering with Large Simulation/Emulation for Scalable and Sound Experimentation Using Repeatable Methodology and Process). The contract, awarded on February 22, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of November 19, 2026, carries a total small business set-aside designation and employs firm fixed-price terms. Trusted Science and Technology, a small disadvantaged business headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, will perform the work at its Fairfax, Virginia facility. The COLOSSEUM project advances DARPA's cryptographic engineering and simulation capabilities, building upon the contractor's established expertise in cybersecurity, hardware security, and formal verification methodologies.
This contract represents a continuation of Trusted Science and Technology's substantial portfolio of DARPA-funded security research initiatives, which also includes the CELESTE cyber vulnerability assessment program ($1.8M STTR Phase II), HERMES hardware attack resilience evaluation ($1.8M SBIR Phase II), and the recently awarded INGOTS Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle ($4.65M). The COLOSSEUM Phase II award demonstrates DARPA's confidence in the contractor's ability to deliver advanced cryptographic engineering solutions that support the agency's mission to maintain U.S. technological superiority in critical defense and intelligence applications. No major subcontractors were identified in the award documentation.
