CKC: Collaborative Knowledge Curation | DARPA Department of War organization. CKC: Collaborative Knowledge Curation CKC: Collaborative Knowledge Curation In a world of increasingly complicated and interdependent systems, analysts and decision-makers spend more and more time curating the knowledge that informs their models and decisions.
Knowledge curation involves acquiring information from many sources; triaging it as unimportant, contextual, or actionable; identifying factors and causal links; finding associated datasets; and developing metrics with which to measure objectives.
This process is integral to successful economic statecraft, where knowledge curation is used to convert natural language objectives, such as “building soft power,” into measurable, causal hypotheses, such as “Increasing D will increase X, as measured by I.
” Despite being a vital step in the decision-making process, knowledge curation is usually done by hand, which means analysts and decision-makers often miss important factors in complicated socioeconomic systems. For example, restrictions on the purchase of Russian oil did not include bans on the sale of ships to Russia, allowing the growth of a “shadow fleet” ferrying oil in defiance of price caps.
CKC is exploring how machines can help analysts and decision-makers curate information faster and more thoroughly. How can we partially automate knowledge curation to help analysts and decision-makers gain and maintain awareness in complicated, interdependent systems? The solicitation for this program closed on Nov.

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.
