DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Washington, DC seeks vendors to provide advanced information processing techniques services. The scope of work aims to drive innovation in information science and technology, specifically for national security purposes.

Key objectives include the development of energy-efficient and assured artificial intelligence (AI) systems that strengthen asymmetric capabilities at the network edge, providing trustworthy and interpretable AI directly to warfighters on demand. The service also targets the creation of inherently secure and private systems, along with adaptive tools for security and privacy that surpass current moving-target and reactive solutions.

Additionally, the project emphasizes the development of resilient megasystems—for example, by using machine-derived models to uncover the principles behind complex and interconnected systems such as supply chains and power grids. The goal is to identify systemic risks and emergent properties, thereby enabling pre-emptive interventions and ensuring the integrity of mission-critical functions.
