The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $4.7M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation's Advanced Technology Laboratories division on February 1, 2026, for the Securing Artificial Intelligence for Battlefield Effective Robustness (SABER) program. Work will be performed at the contractor's Cherry Hill, New Jersey facility with an estimated completion date of January 31, 2028. This contract represents a 24-month effort to develop an advanced AI red team capability focused on identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in AI-enabled autonomous military systems deployable within 1-3 years. The SABER program requires development of counter-AI techniques and tools spanning physical, adversarial AI, cyber, and electronic warfare domains, organized under two technical teams: TT1.1 will develop AI attack effect techniques while TT1.2 will integrate these capabilities into a unified operational framework evaluated through the AI Red Team Effectiveness (ARTE) metric. The solicitation, posted in March 2025 with a June 2025 proposal deadline, sought U.S. organizations with SECRET-level classified information handling capability and at least three cleared U.S. citizen key personnel to support DARPA's broader artificial intelligence security initiatives. The contract did not utilize a set-aside designation and was awarded through full and open competition. The program structure includes two nine-month SABER-OpX exercises, each incorporating four week-long experiments to operationally assess AI system vulnerabilities. Lockheed Martin's selection reflects the company's extensive portfolio of advanced research and development work for DARPA, including prior engagements in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and electronic warfare technologies that directly support this critical national security requirement.
