About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $2.74 million definitive contract to Siemens Corporation, Technology, for the Cyber Agents for Security Testing and Learning Environments (CASTLE) program on June 21, 2024, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with no set-aside.
The program develops an artificial intelligence toolkit to instantiate realistic network environments and train cyber agents for resilient network operations against advanced persistent threats. The originating solicitation, posted October 21, 2022, sought proposals to create an open-source AI toolkit for simulating and defending network environments using reinforcement learning experimentation on live networks to model over one hundred attack paths and defensive actions per year. Evaluation criteria included scientific and technical merit, contribution to the DARPA mission, and cost and schedule realism, with multiple awards anticipated across three technical areas over a four-year period consisting of three phases. Place of performance is Princeton, NJ. The contract runs through September 10, 2027.
