About this award
Systems & Technology Research LLC has been awarded a $12.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under the Automated Medical Device Patching (AMDP) program, with completion targeted for December 31, 2025. The contract, awarded on September 29, 2023, supports research and development efforts focused on automated patching solutions for medical devices under ARPA-H's broader initiative to enhance medical device security and resilience. STR, a mid-tier federal contractor based in Woburn, Massachusetts, specializing in advanced technological solutions for national security, will execute the work from its Massachusetts headquarters with support from three key subcontractors: Aarno Labs LLC providing binary analysis and patching tools; Black Cape, Inc. delivering software engineering support for graphical user interface development; and Vector 35 Inc. developing cloud-based infrastructure services. The contract does not utilize a set-aside designation and represents STR's continued engagement with DARPA on research initiatives spanning artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems development.
This award demonstrates ARPA-H's focus on applying advanced research capabilities to medical technology modernization challenges. The collaborative team combines STR's research and systems integration expertise with specialized capabilities from three technology-focused firms: Aarno Labs' software security and vulnerability analysis experience, Black Cape's artificial intelligence and software development capabilities as a veteran-owned small business, and Vector 35's cybersecurity and firmware analysis research. The subcontracted work encompasses core technical areas essential to automated device patching, including binary analysis, tool development, user interface engineering, and cloud infrastructure—collectively addressing the technical complexity of securing and maintaining medical devices in networked healthcare environments.
