Department of War organization. Assured Neuro Symbolic Learning and Reasoning To successfully incorporate autonomous systems into their missions, military operators must have confidence that those systems will operate safely and perform as intended.
DARPA is motivating new thinking and approaches to artificial intelligence development to enable high levels of trust in autonomous systems through the Assured Neuro Symbolic Learning and Reasoning (ANSR) program. ANSR seeks breakthrough innovations in the form of new, hybrid AI algorithms that integrate symbolic reasoning with data-driven learning to create robust, assured, and therefore trustworthy systems.
ANSR defines a system as trustworthy, if it is: Robust to domain-informed and adversarial perturbations; Supported by an assurance framework that creates and analyzes heterogenous evidence towards safety and risk assessments; and Predictable with respect to some specification and models of fitness.
Advances in assurance technologies, including formal and simulation-based approaches, have helped accelerate identification of failure modes and defects of machine learning (ML) algorithms. Unfortunately, the ability to repair defects in state-of-the-art ML remains limited to retraining, which is not guaranteed to eliminate defects or to improve the generalizability of ML algorithms.
Further, while the runtime assurance architecture (e.g. monitoring and recovery) ensures operational safety, frequent invocations of fallback recovery, triggered by brittleness and generalizability of ML, compromises the ability to accomplish a mission.
ANSR hypothesizes that several of the limitations in ML today are a consequence of the inability to incorporate contextual and background knowledge, and treating each data set as an independent, uncorrelated input. In the real world, observations are often correlated and a product of an underlying causal mechanism, which can be modeled and understood.
ANSR also posits that hybrid AI algorithms capable of acquiring and integrating symbolic knowledge and performing symbolic reasoning at scale will deliver robust inference, generalize to new situations, and provide evidence for assurance and trust.

Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Call N0001425SBC03 For Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global Opportunity: GlobalX Innovation Joint Challenge: AI for Advancing Maritime Security is sponsored by Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global. This BAA Call seeks proposals for the GlobalX Innovation Joint Challenge: AI for Advancing Maritime Security. It funds the development of artificial intelligence solutions for maritime security applications, focusing on innovative AI algorithms for challenging maritime scene perception scenarios using real-world or synthetic data from UxV platforms. The program aims to accelerate the traditional knowledge generation cycle, leading to revolutionary dual-use capability for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps and the commercial marketplace. White papers are highly encouraged and due May 23, 2025, with full proposals due June 23, 2025.
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) is a federal grant program administered by FEMA through the Office of the Governor's Public Safety Office that funds enhanced border security cooperation among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Border Patrol, and state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. The program supports joint operations to secure land and water border routes, improve intelligence sharing, and expand 287(g) screening operations within correctional facilities. In 2025, the national priority is Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement, covering training, operational coordination, and risk management. Eligible expenses include operational overtime costs, staffing support for screening activities, and training programs in immigration law, civil rights protections, and 287(g) procedures.
DARPA pre-released four FY26 SBIR topics on April 30 — SWiFT field transfusion, BARK K-9 therapeutics, EXPOSITION finger regeneration, and PEPI photonic-electronic integration. Phase I awards range $150K-$300K, with Direct-to-Phase-II up to $1.8M. Closing June 3.
Read articleOn June 3, 2026, four DARPA Biological Technologies Office SBIR topics close simultaneously — SWiFT, BARK, EXPOSITION, and Medical Swarm Robotics. Combined Phase I plus Phase II potential exceeds $6 million per company, and together they sketch a coherent strategy of distributed, autonomous, dual-species combat casualty care that depends on small businesses, not primes, to actually build.
