Request for Information (RFI): Formal Learning and Abstractions for System Heterogeneity (FLASH)
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-27-17
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Information Processing Techniques Office issued Request for Information DARPA-SN-27-17 to gather research on Formal Learning and Abstractions for System Heterogeneity (FLASH). The program aims to enhance the robustness of high-assurance cyber-physical engineering systems by combining generative-model-based agents with symbolic reasoning. This approach seeks to automate the synthesis of systems from formal specifications, creating semantically heterogeneous instances that maintain functional equivalence while diversifying failure modes and attack surfaces to better protect national security applications, such as autonomous tactical platforms and secure communication pipelines. This is a special notice and not a formal solicitation for proposals; therefore, no contract value or evaluation criteria are provided. Interested parties must submit their responses by November 30, 2026. Submissions can be made at any classification level, with unclassified responses sent to [email hidden] and controlled unclassified information submitted via DoD SAFE. Those intending to submit classified information must notify the agency by November 13, 2026, and utilize approved secure networks such as SAV, JWICS, or SIC. All proprietary and classified data must be marked according to specific Department of Defense and DARPA guidelines.
