DARPA

The Pentagon's research arm, DARPA, is seeking to develop computers that can operate with minimal power and memory, and continue functioning even when hardware fails. This ambitious project aims to create computers that can 'think in the dark' and keep working in challenging conditions. DARPA is calling on the technology industry to help achieve this goal.

DARPA is looking for innovative technology to support the Space Force's efforts to respond to real-time threats in orbit by rapidly launching new payloads or tapping into commercial constellations. The goal is to expand the scope of gap-filler capabilities the U.S. military can leverage in a crisis.

DARPA has extended its IT support task order with SecuriGence, increasing the contract value to $816 million. The task order, which began in September 2021, supports DARPA's multiple information technology networks. SecuriGence will continue to provide multi-network support services under the modified contract.

DARPA is exploring novel concepts to quickly restore critical satellite services after an attack, aiming to rebuild within hours or weeks. The agency seeks innovative solutions to rapidly rebuild satellite networks. This effort focuses on ensuring the resilience of satellite services.
