Embedded Intelligence Research LLC

Embedded Intelligence Research LLC, doing business as Embedded Intelligence, is a for-profit partnership focused on artificial intelligence and embedded systems research. The company provides advanced algorithm development and signal processing services to federal agencies.

As a prime contractor, Embedded Intelligence Research has received two definitive contract awards totaling over $3.3 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). These awards supported research into improving AI capabilities, including preliminary work on reverse engineering deception techniques and developing methodologies to train AI systems with limited labeled data. Both contracts were competitively solicited and awarded without set-aside designations.

Additionally, Embedded Intelligence Research holds two Other Transaction indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles with DARPA to facilitate emerging research into AI security and reliability. Awarded in 2020, the first IDV provides up to $1 million for the company to investigate reverse engineering solutions to detect adversarial deception attacks against AI systems using compressed sensing signatures. The second 2020 IDV has a ceiling of over $3 million and tasks the company with pioneering techniques to guarantee AI robustness against deception. Research under this vehicle aims to harden AI systems against manipulated inputs and intentional attempts to undermine model performance. Both IDVs were awarded outside of traditional procurement procedures given their pre-commercial nature and emphasis on prototyping.
