This is a Schedule of Milestones and Payments attachment for the DARPA-PS-26-20 Bordeaux Program Solicitation. The document outlines five task-based milestones over a 12-month period with corresponding DARPA payments, structured as follows: Task 1 is due at month 3, Task 2 at month 6, Task 3 at month 8, Task 4 at month 10, and Task 5 at month 12. Each milestone includes associated deliverables and defined exit criteria that must be met to trigger payment from DARPA.

The specific payment amounts and detailed exit criteria are referenced in a classified Technical Data Digest (TDD) document and are not disclosed in this attachment. This payment schedule applies to the Bordeaux Program, a 36-month cybersecurity performance research initiative focused on artificial intelligence, which is divided into a 3-month Security Startup Period, an 18-month Phase 1 (Base), and an 18-month Phase 2 (Option), with an optional 12-month Transition Phase estimate. Multiple awards are anticipated under this Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) solicitation.
