Proud Partner of IARPA – Advanced Space December 27, 2022 / Machine Learning & AI , National Security , News It is a privilege to work with the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). IARPA’s desire to solve hard problems aligns with Advanced Space’s values to use our technical excellence and inexhaustible curiosity to do the same.
We appreciate that IARPA invests in research programs to tackle some of the Intelligence Community’s (IC) most difficult challenges. As a member of IARPA’s Microelectronics for Artificial Intelligence (MicroE4AI) program, Advanced Space is developing machine learning tools to help the IC rapidly respond to space domain threats.
Our team is researching machine learning applications to solve two fundamental challenges: identifying systematic anomalies, such as mis-modeled forces or unexpected maneuvers, and classifying anomalies to explain probable deviation causes. The goal of this investigation is to enhance efficiency in spacecraft operations by reducing human-in-the-loop effort.
To achieve this goal, this research employs supervised learning based on hundreds of years’ worth of high fidelity simulated spacecraft trajectories, navigation measurements, and corresponding navigation filter results. This dataset provides a broad basis for machine learning models to mimic the kinds of choices human operators make every day, distilling the data into algorithms and flight software.
Machine learning can offer an advantage over human decision making because the training process for these algorithms can easily scale to include more example data than any individual engineer could see in a lifetime of practice.
The MicroE4AI program aims to drive innovations in hardware/ software and algorithm-architecture that improve the performance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications packaged in highly efficient, edge-capable microelectronic devices.
Additionally, MicroE4AI seeks to cultivate new materials, processing and science improving the performance, emphasizing compactness, minimal-weight, and modest energy requirements, of AI and ML endowed microelectronic devices.
Deployment of AI and ML capable devices to edge computing applications will help the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) mission by creating efficient and cost-effective smart sensors, as well as autonomous and adaptable computing capabilities.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Universities, research institutions, and industry partners. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

Commercial Observation for Spatio-Temporal Monitoring for Indications of Change (COSMIC) is sponsored by Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). The COSMIC program seeks to develop a methodology to leverage commercial remote sensing technologies and open-source geolocation information to generate pseudo-persistent data (PPD). COSMIC aims to create a methodology to rapidly integrate multiple sources of information into a unified framework to allow for incorporation into a layered GEOINT model or PPD. This framework should also allow the prediction and visualization of resolution and bands of data not provided for PPD construction through predictive processes such as image diffusion or other generative AI approaches.

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.
NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program is a grant from NVIDIA providing up to $60,000 per award to PhD students conducting research that advances accelerated computing and its applications. Now in its 25th year, the program invites nominations from doctoral students pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and related fields. Recipients receive not only research funding but also access to NVIDIA technology, products, and engineering expertise, along with a mandatory in-person summer internship. Students are nominated by their faculty advisors and selected based on academic achievement and research area alignment.
CalSEED Concept Award is a grant from the California Energy Commission that provides $150,000 in funding to early-stage clean energy innovators in California. The program targets individuals, businesses, and nonprofits developing hardware, software, or integrated solutions at Technology Readiness Levels 2-4. Eligible technology areas rotate each cycle and have included battery recycling and reuse, long-duration energy storage, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, industrial electrification, and advanced EV charging. Applicants must be located in California, have under $1 million in private funding, and propose innovations that benefit California ratepayers. Concept Award winners also receive professional development resources and access to accelerator programs, and may compete for a subsequent $450,000 Prototype Award.

NIST SBIR Phase I - Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics is a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that funds small businesses with innovative research and technology ideas in advanced manufacturing and robotics.
The FY2026 federal funding map has tilted hard toward AI, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and workforce development — while a new layer of political review asks whether each award advances administration priorities. Here is a strategic map of where the money is moving, and how to position a proposal for the new alignment screen without distorting the work.
Read articleTitle III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.
Read articleNSF's NAIRR Operations Center solicitation (NSF 25-546) will make a single award of up to $35 million over five years to the organization that will run the National AI Research Resource — the shared computing, data, and model infrastructure that has already connected over 400 U.S. research teams. This is a rare winner-take-all federal competition where the prize is not funding for your own research but the mandate to operate national infrastructure. Here is what the NAIRR is, why its transition from pilot to permanent program matters, and what kind of organization can credibly win it.
