Department of War organization. Cyber Physical System Executing in Real Time More information on DVIDS Source: DARPA | Tom Shortridge What is Defense Test and Evaluation (T&E)? CyPhER Forge aims to revolutionize defense test and evaluation (T&E) by decoupling test duration from the complexity of physical systems.
By slashing the number of required test points for developmental systems by an order of magnitude, you could dramatically accelerate the testing of combat systems, enabling warfighters to access cutting-edge technology faster. The program will focus on making two core innovations: A real-time digital twin incorporating multi-physics-informed surrogate modeling, uncertainty quantification, and continuous data assimilation.
An AI test agent that provides statistical safety guarantees, applies the twin to identify novel knowledge and maximize test protocols, then plans and executes testing with machine precision.
The integrated digital twin and AI test agent, or a Cyber Physical System Executing in Real Time (CyPhER), will be an automated, adaptive, end-to-end planning, execution, and analysis solution that operates in real time and directly addresses major drivers of modern T&E timelines.
The CyPhER Forge program will culminate in the demonstration of an accelerated flight sciences test campaign using an instrumented, experimental aircraft as the primary validation platform. Image aided with generative AI. Tactical Technology Office

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.
