Department of War organization. Information Processing Techniques Office About the Information Processing Techniques Office The Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) creates technological surprise through groundbreaking information science, technology development, and the delivery of fundamentally new information capabilities for national security.
AI innovation and Execution We envision vastly more energy-efficient and assured AI systems to advance asymmetric capabilities at the edge of the network and to provide trustworthy, understandable AI to warfighters where and when they need it. We also seek to mitigate risks of misalignment of machine actions and human interests.
Inherent Security and Privacy We seek to create a new generation of systems that are inherently secure, and inherently private, together with security and privacy tools that are more effective and more adaptable – both in the moving target and reactive senses – than current solutions.
We aim to develop more trustworthy and resilient systems based on the fundamental principles of the cyber networking, computing, and storage environment, and to create an asymmetric advantage in cyberspace.
We aim to develop machine-derived abstractions and models that expose the governing principles of highly complex and interconnected systems – like supply chains and power grids – to identify hidden systemic risks and emergent properties, and to enable the precise targeting of interventions and the proactive assurance of mission-critical functions.

DARPA's FALCON topic (DPA26BZ03-DV016) asks small businesses to fuse efficient machine learning with large language models into a single system for interactive statistical analysis of huge datasets — for the enterprise and the battlefield. It opened July 22 and closes August 19, 2026. Here is what the topic is actually asking for, why the ML-plus-LLM framing is harder than it sounds, and how a qualified team should scope a proposal in the four-week window.
Read articleDARPA's Non-Volatile Memory for Extreme Environments topic (DPA26BZ04-DV017) is a Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR worth $1.2 million for radiation-hardened NOR Flash that works from -269°C to +600°C. It opened July 22 and closes August 19, 2026. Here is why the no-Phase-I structure narrows the field to a handful of teams, what the rad-hard specs actually demand, and how a qualified company should sequence a proposal in under a month.
Read articleDARPA's FALCON SBIR topic (DPA26BZ04-DV016) is a Direct-to-Phase-II award worth $1.5 million to teams that can marry the statistical rigor of classical machine learning with the contextual reach of large language models. It opened July 22 and closes August 19, 2026. Here is why the no-Phase-I structure changes who can win, what the hallucination-mitigation requirement really demands, and how a small team should sequence a proposal in under four weeks.
