Context Reasoning for Autonomous Teaming Department of War organization. CREATE: Context Reasoning For Autonomous Teaming CREATE: Context Reasoning for Autonomous Teaming CREATE aims to explore the utility of artificial intelligence (AI) on the autonomous formation of scalable machine-to-machine teams capable of reacting to and learning from unexpected missions in the absence of centralized communication and control.
CREATE seeks to develop the theoretical foundations of autonomous AI teaming to enable a system of heterogeneous, contextually-aware agents to act in a decentralized manner and satisfy multiple, simultaneous and unplanned missions goals.
Agents within the team will have mechanism for regulation to ensure (favorable) emergent behavior of the team to: (1) better ensure the desired mission outcome; and (2) bound the cost of unintended adverse action or regret.
CREATE aims to explore the function and utility of encoding common knowledge (e.g. general places and things), procedural knowledge (e.g. user’s manuals and playbooks), and learned knowledge (evolving experiential, or semantically inferred information).
Additionally, the program will explore the accuracy and value of decentralized machines decisions made form local observations and any available global context with an emphasis on decisions related to unplanned missions. To mitigate potential undesirable action while maintaining an interesting level of autonomy, the program will investigate the correct balance of hard coded and contextual safeguards.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) is sponsored by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). The Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) aims to determine whether it's possible to build a utility-scale quantum computer by 2033. It solicits research proposals in quantum benchmarking and is structured in three stages: concept description, R&D plan, and validation/co-design.
Photonic Integrated Circuit Architectures for Scalable System Objectives (PICASSO) is sponsored by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). The PICASSO program aims to overcome fundamental physical limits preventing photonic integrated circuits from delivering large-scale computing advantages for artificial intelligence and other data-intensive workloads. It seeks innovative circuit-level design strategies to develop scalable photonic circuits with predictable system-level performance, focusing on continuous optical signal processing rather than incremental component improvements.
DPA26BZ06-DV023 is a Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR paying $700,000 over 18 months plus a $500,000 option. The physics demands 256x more transmit power than the systems that qualify you to compete, and DARPA will not accept modeling alone as proof. Here is the eligibility wall, the five engineering problems, and who can realistically win it before the October 21 close.
Read articleRelease 6's SBIR topics got the attention. Its three STTR topics — SHIELDER, fuel-flexible electric propulsion, and hypersonic wind tunnel noise diagnostics — are all Direct-to-Phase-II, all require a research institution to perform at least 30 percent of the work, and all close October 21, 2026. The feasibility gates are the real filter.
Read articleDPA26BZ06-DV026 offers $300,000 at Phase I or $1,800,000 as a single Direct-to-Phase-II tranche with no options. 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.
