Hyperdimensional Neurosymbolic Cyber Course-of-Action Planning and Replanning under Deception

Solicitation # DPA27BZ02-DV001

Solicitation DPA27BZ02-DV001 is a Phase I SBIR effort managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a prototype for Hyperdimensional Neurosymbolic Cyber Course-of-Action (COA) Planning and Replanning under Deception. The project addresses the need for cyber planning tools that can operate in contested environments where observations are incomplete or manipulated. The goal is to move beyond static checklists and rule-based playbooks toward a system using hyperdimensional, vector-symbolic, or neurosymbolic reasoning to maintain explicit, inspectable internal representations of objectives, dependencies, and adversary reactions. This technology must support the generation and comparison of multiple feasible COAs and enable rapid replanning when evidence is contradictory or deceptive, specifically for use in resource-constrained or distributed mission networks. The contract is a total small business set-aside with a base award of 1,300,000 dollars for an 18-month period, with an additional 500,000 dollar option for 6 months. Key deliverables include a prototype v1 by month 6 and an interim demonstration of rapid replanning by month 9, culminating in a final demonstration and report by month 18. Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, investigator qualifications, and commercial potential. Compliance requirements include Level 2 CMMC certification for those handling controlled unclassified information and adherence to DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding covered defense information. Proposals must be submitted via the DSIP portal and include technical, cost, and commercialization volumes.

Human Universal Remote

Solicitation # DPA27BZ02-DV003

The Human Universal Remote solicitation (DPA27BZ02-DV003) is a Phase I SBIR effort issued by DARPA and set aside for total small business participation. The project aims to enhance warfighter operational capabilities by integrating surface electromyography (sEMG) with other non-invasive sensing modalities, such as ultrasound, to detect neuromuscular activity. The scope is divided into two parallel technical areas: Technical Area 1 focuses on the non-invasive capture and extraction of biopotential signals from the skin to serve as both arm control commands and biological sensors for warfighter stress. Technical Area 2 focuses on translating these physiological signals into platform-agnostic output modalities, utilizing radiofrequency channels to trigger actionable commands for systems like robotic platforms, ISR drones, and the Team Awareness Kit (TAK). The contract requires the development of a system capable of structured reasoning over asynchronous multi-source evidence, utilizing architectures such as neuro-symbolic or graph-based reasoning while incorporating operational cost terms like power and latency. Key deliverables include a consolidated technical report with quantitative metrics, a risk register, and a Phase II transition plan. Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, innovation, and the qualifications of key personnel, with a specific emphasis on the ability to commercialize results. Award selection is based on a selectable versus non-selectable determination, where strengths must outweigh weaknesses. Performance must be demonstrated under conditions of at least 20 percent missing or delayed inputs, and firms handling controlled unclassified information must possess Level 2 CMMC certification.
