Information Innovation Office Department of War organization. Information Innovation Office Information Innovation Office The Information Innovation Office (I2O) creates groundbreaking science and delivers future capabilities in the informational and computational domains to surprise adversaries and maintain enduring advantage for national security.
We seek to invent trustworthy, disruptive AI technologies and methodologies relevant to national security that no one else will. We define trustworthy systems as ones that operate competently, interact appropriately with humans and behave ethically and morally. Resilient, Adaptable, and Secure Software and Systems We believe a world without software vulnerabilities is possible.
We seek to use formal methods and third-wave AI to make it easier to understand, build, update, repair, and restore complex software and cyber-physical systems with multi-system-wide, security-relevant correctness guarantees. Techniques and tools are provided as open-source software for use by the research and software development communities, the defense industrial base, and DOD.
Offensive and Defensive Cyber We’re leveraging advances in state-of-the-art AI and secure and resilient tools and technologies to produce trustworthy cyber capabilities that operate beyond human capacity and speed. Our efforts anticipate adversary countermeasures to create enduring capabilities.
Fighting in the Information Domain We focus on measuring the health of and protecting and detecting attacks on the information domain, broadly construed.
Our research portfolio spans many levels: Cognitive: Beliefs and attitudes Semantic: Knowledge that’s specialized to particular domains, e.g., scientific discourse, the financial system, supply chains, and other areas Tracking: Recording the digital artifacts of interactions with the myriad digital devices required by modern life Transport: Delivery of electronic messages in many forms and with various gradations of observability RSS feed for Opportunities I2O Technical Office leadership is responsible for guiding and overseeing the research and development activities within specific technical areas.

DARPA's DICE program (HR001126S0010) wants the theory and algorithms for a self-organizing collective of AI agents that stays on mission in contested environments with no central controller. It is a 36-month, simulation-only, three-technical-area BAA due August 25, 2026 — and it rewards a rare blend of distributed-systems theory and frontier-model inference control that almost no single lab has under one roof. Here is what DICE is really asking for, who is positioned to win, and how to build a team that can.
Read articleDARPA transferred its first autonomous-ready H-60Mx Black Hawk to the Army on March 20, capping a decade of ALIAS research. Now the same technology underpins an SBIR XL opportunity for small businesses building wildfire autonomy.
Read articleDARPA's FY26 SBIR Release 5 pre-releases August 5, 2026, opens August 26, and closes September 23 — a four-week window. The Department of War now pre-releases SBIR/STTR topics the first Wednesday of every month, turning DARPA solicitations into a predictable annual cadence you can plan around. The most valuable and least-used part is the three-week pre-release period, when you can talk directly to the topic authors before proposals open. Here is how to turn the monthly rhythm and the pre-release window into a real competitive edge.
