Proposals are due by 3:00 p.m. Eastern on July 9.<\/p>\n<p>DARPA is soliciting innovative proposals that leverage: abstraction of physics based reduced order modeling, AI-driven simulation with edge compute, advances in online model-predictive control and online dynamics learning, recurrence quantification analysis, simulation with live sensor data, and game theory \/ theory of behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The DISCORD program aims to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-native approach for rapid generation of tactical options from both live sensor data and high-fidelity simulation. The goal is to provide commanders with a portfolio of diverse strategies that can pivot dynamically in response to evolving conditions. DISCORD is designed to produce explainable outcomes that human operators and commanders can validate, fostering trust in AI-driven decision support.<\/p>\n<p>DISCORD is intended to continuously adapt to changes in the operational environment, producing robust strategies that can pivot dynamically in response to evolving conditions. By discovering a wide range of superior and genuinely diverse strategies, rather than just a single optimized solution, the engine will help create true strategic flexibility. Importantly, this flexibility will afford commanders the power and freedom to exercise their own tactical judgment\u2014born of hard-earned experience, training, and operational art\u2014in ways that adversaries cannot poison, stymie, or accurately predict.<\/p>\n<p>DISCORD is a 24-month program organized into two 12-month phases. DARPA anticipates selecting multiple performers. The DARPA DISCORD effort implements Ender\u2019s Foundry, one of several warfighting Pace-Setting Projects (PSPs) established by the Department of War. Ender\u2019s Foundry\u2019s intent is to accelerate AI-enabled simulation capabilities to ensure the U.S. stays ahead of AI-enabled adversaries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sam.gov\/workspace\/contract\/opp\/56ef952854bf48ae94be00f4ddb03d85\/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Review the DISCORD solicitation.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: SAM<\/p>\n<p><em>The right opportunity can be worth millions.
