About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a definitive cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to Sri International for the Intrinsic Cognitive Security (ICS) program on June 21, 2024, with a ceiling value of $8,052,463 and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027.
The ICS program addresses computational science and formal methods to build mixed reality systems that protect users from cognitive attacks. The work involves developing cognitive guarantees and models through research spanning material characterization, probe-based analysis, and human-performance modeling under attentional and status attacks. Place of performance is Princeton, New Jersey.
Sri International is a non-profit research and development organization competing full-and-open without set-asides. The contract engages multiple university partners as subcontractors: the University of California, Santa Barbara (MBE growth experiments on compound semiconductors and human-performance assessment in mixed reality), Columbia University (material characterization via probe-based techniques), New York University (human-performance data collection and modeling), and Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (data collection, model development, and quantification of performance degradation under cognitive attacks). These subcontractors contribute specialized research capabilities in materials science, cognitive modeling, and experimental human factors assessment.
Sri International's federal portfolio spans 7,353 awards with over $125 billion in combined potential value since 1979, with recent SCI-reported invoicing of $48.3 million (FY2022), $34.9 million (FY2023), and $38.2 million (FY2024). The organization maintains standing vehicles with DARPA including multiple OTA IDVs across artificial intelligence, photonic interfaces, and emerging computational methodologies, positioning ICS as one element of Sri's ongoing DARPA research engagement.
