About This Opportunity

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) within the Department of Defense seeks development of theory and algorithms for decentralized coordination and local inference control. The resulting technology must enable scalable, adaptive, and resilient collectives of heterogeneous AI agents that can autonomously conduct sustained long-time-horizon missions in contested environments while remaining under human control and producing predictable, aligned collective behavior.
