DARPA-PS-26-04, published February 25, 2026 by the Tactical Technology Office, restructures the contract around three phases — Phase 0 Backbone (6 months), Phase 1 Base (12 months), Phase 2 Option (18 months) — and culminates in an instrumented flight-test campaign. The solicitation is not really about T&E. It is about the digital-twin and uncertainty-quantification middleware DoD needs for any AI-enabled combat system.

The deliverable is a simulated auction market that measures whether AI agents deceive, collude, or manipulate the humans they serve — measured entirely from the outside. Here is the 90% efficiency gate, the team composition most bidders will get wrong, and why this topic sits in DARPA's biology office.
Read articleOn June 1, DARPA and NSF announced AI Forge — a jointly governed forum that will fund university-led research on three thrusts: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on sam.gov closes June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Project Ventures awards run roughly $750K to $3M with one-year durations and multiple awards expected annually. Administration runs through a nonprofit, intellectual property will be shared via open-source licensing, and CAISI at NIST is the third partner. Here is what the 15 priority research challenges look like and how U.S. universities should respond.
