About this award
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded a $7.655 million definitive contract to Systems & Technology Research LLC for the Intrinsic Cognitive Security (ICS) program on July 5, 2024, under a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with ultimate completion by June 30, 2027.
The originating Broad Agency Announcement, posted October 16, 2023, with proposals due December 20, 2023, sought computational science to build mixed reality systems that protect users from cognitive attacks through formal methods and cognitive models providing cognitive guarantees against cognitive attack. Work is performed in Woburn, MA.
STR is advancing cognitive guarantees and models across two subcontracted research partnerships. Northeastern University is modeling user behavior in mixed reality and developing cognitive models in perception and attention categories. Two Six Labs is extending formal methods with cognitive guarantees to protect mixed reality users from cognitive attacks, delivering formal analysis and synthesis of provable guarantees across physiology, perception, attention, confidence, and status categories. The program structure anticipates multiple awards for technical area one (cognitive guarantees and models) and one award for technical area two (evaluation), with anticipated awards ranging from $3 million to $10 million over one to three years depending on technical area.
