"Resilient Software Systems Accelerator" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
Resilient Software Systems Accelerator is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The Resilient Software Systems Accelerator provides seed funding to formal methods tool developers who partner with defense companies to apply formal methods tools and measure their implementation effort.
DARPA funding supports an initial red team assessment of a DoD system's vulnerabilities, the application of formal methods tool(s), and a second red team assessment to measure impact and level of effort.

ISR Workspace: Increased Contract Volume Show Details Jun 26, 2026 Following the implementation of revisions to the ISR eligibility logic within the Subcontracting Plan Reporting system on June 9, 2026, contractors might observe an increased volume of contracts and subcontracts in their Eligible Workspace. The inclusion of these records does not automatically necessitate an ISR submission.
Contractors must evaluate the specific subcontracting plans associated with each contract and subcontract to determine their reporting obligations. Subcontracting Plan Reporting system issues resolved Show Details Jun 10, 2026 GSA deployed updates to SAM. gov to resolve known issues with the Subcontracting Plan Reporting system.
Contractor users should review their Workspaces to ensure they can successfully create and submit their Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISR). Mid-year ISRs are due July 14, 2026. Visit sam.

## Resilient Software Systems (RSS) Accelerator ## Resilient Software Systems (RSS) Accelerator Contract Opportunity Type ##### Nov 05, 2025 5:00 PM EST ##### Sep 05, 2025 11:11 AM EDT ##### DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY (DARPA) ##### DEF ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGCY ##### AC12 - NATIONAL DEFENSE R&D SERVICES; DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - MILITARY; APPLIED RESEARCH ##### 541715 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) DARPA is working on additional pathways to support the transition of formal methods tools, including conducting a Resilient Software Systems Accelerator (RSS Accelerator).
This accelerator will provide seed funding to formal methods tool developers who partner with Defense Industrial Base companies to identify Department of Defense (DoD) systems that would benefit from the use of their tools as described above.
DARPA funding would support an initial red team assessment of the DoD system’s vulnerabilities, the application of the formal methods tool(s), and a second red team assessment to measure impact and level of effort. Conclusions from the efficacy of the tool would be incorporated into the DARPA Guide to Formal Methods to Deliver Resilient Systems for Proposals (“the FMDRS Guide”). No links have been added to this opportunity.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Formal methods tool developers who partner with Defense Industrial Base companies. Universities may be involved as tool developers or researchers collaborating with defense companies. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The published deadline was July 16, 2025, which has passed. Check the official notice for any future application windows before investing time in a proposal.
Resilient Software Systems Accelerator is funded by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Verify program details on the funder's official page before applying.

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.
