** The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) invests in high-risk/high payoff research programs that have the potential to provide our nation with an overwhelming intelligence advantage. IARPA seeks to develop new capabilities to enable the safe adoption and use of generative AI technologies to greatly enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the Intelligence Community (IC).
The goal of the BENGAL targeted super seedling is to understand LLM threat modes, quantify them and to find novel methods to correct threats and vulnerabilities or to work resiliently with imperfect models. IARPA seeks to develop and incorporate novel technologies to efficiently probe large language models to detect and characterize LLM threat modes and vulnerabilities.
Performers will focus on one or more of the topic domains below, clearly articulate a taxonomy of threat modes within their domain of interest and develop technologies to serve as an analog to ‘virus scan’ software.

RFI on Biologically-Derived Materials for Transient Propulsion Systems is sponsored by Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). IARPA is seeking information on bio-derived materials for transient unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) propulsion systems. This RFI (IARPA-RFI-26-01) explores the possibility of growing, rather than machining, drone engines and their ability to disappear after a mission.
IARPA's Commercial Observation for Spatio-temporal Monitoring for Indications of Change (COSMIC) program aims to integrate commercial remote sensing data and open-source geolocation information into dynamic geospatial models and develop an agentic AI analytic system capable of answering intelligence questions. The program is part of IARPA's Emerging Technology Accelerator (ETA) framework released in April 2026, supporting high-risk high-payoff R&D for the Intelligence Community. COSMIC seeks to create AI systems that generate pseudo-persistent geospatial intelligence from non-persistent commercial satellite and sensor data.
