Kallisti Proposers Day Announcement

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has published a Special Notice announcing a Proposers Day for the Kallisti program, scheduled for February 7, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST at the Executive Conference Center in Arlington, VA. The event will focus on a research initiative aimed at developing advanced algorithmic models for predicting adversarial platform situational awareness and behavior. DARPA seeks to explore innovative approaches that combine algorithmic techniques with human expertise to enhance decision-making in national security scenarios. The notice is specifically targeting potential proposers and researchers interested in developing sophisticated predictive modeling techniques for understanding and anticipating strategic actions.

The Kallisti program's primary objective is to create an algorithmic framework that can decompose and track strategy changes under non-stationary conditions, providing decision-makers with more comprehensive options for managing potential conflicts. The Proposers Day is limited to 100 registrants, with a maximum of two representatives per organization, and requires registration by January 31, 2025, at 5 p.m. EST through events.sa-meetings.com/darpakallistiPD. Participation is restricted to U.S. persons and mandates submission of DARPA Form 104, with attendees required to present government-issued photo identification. The event will include a poster session from 1-3 p.m. EST for teaming opportunities, with posters limited to 24" x 36", and individual 7-minute meetings with Program Manager Dr. Eric Davis will be available between 1:10-4:00 p.m. All presentation materials must receive prior approval by January 31, 2025, and the event will be conducted at the Controlled Unclassified Information level.
