It was great to host Mr. Michael at DARPA and we couldn't agree more!
Undersecretary Emil Michael (@USDREMichael) met with new @DARPA director Stephen Winchell yesterday to discuss the exciting innovation breakthroughs of the future. 💡DARPA's inventive spirit will continue to change the world and support our warfighters.
Today, we welcomed Stephen Winchell as the 24th DARPA Director. Read more about his appointment: darpa.mil/news/2025/step…

Math + AI = Tomorrow’s breakthroughs! We’re soliciting proposals for Exponentiating Mathematics (expMath), a new program managed by @patrickshafto that aims to create an AI coauthor that exponentially increases the rate of progress in mathematics. More: darpa.mil/news/2025/math…

🎤 We are at @ RSA Conference! The DARPA AI Cyber Challenge Experience is open at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Come by to see our interactive, futuristic city and hear about how the competition is advancing AI-driven cybersecurity to protect critical infrastructure.

🔒 How can we secure critical infrastructure from cyber threats—and what role does #AI play in the solution? Join the conversation at @RSAConference on April 29. 👉 Details: path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25…

Using the Earth’s #atmosphere / #ionosphere as a global #sensor shows promise. We’re hosting a hybrid in-person/virtual workshop April 15-17 at Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach to share modeling tools & other results from the Atmosphere as a Sensor program. darpa.mil/news/2025/atmo…

DARPA is proud of its R&D efforts driving the design of two X-planes as risk reduction for the NGAD platform and now the F-47.
This platform will be the most advanced, lethal & adaptable fighter ever developed – designed to outpace, outmaneuver & outmatch any adversary that dares to challenge our brave Airmen. Read more of @officialcsaf Gen. Allvin's thoughts⤵️ af.mil/News/Article-D…
USX-1 Defiant has officially launched! The No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS) program has built a vessel designed to operate autonomously for long durations at sea. #USV For more info and images: darpa.mil/research/progr…

The AIxCC Semifinal Competition proved AI-driven systems can auto-find & fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities—even uncovering a zero-day! Missed this breakthrough? Catch up here: aicyberchallenge.com/aixcc-the-ai-c… The journey to secure our critical infrastructure continues!

Researchers with our Moment (ITM) program are tackling the fundamental question of alignment in the context of human decision-makers and autonomous decision-making tools. More on this topic from a recent Voices from DARPA episode: darpa.mil/news/2024/podc…
A mass shooting in Las Vegas a few years ago paved the way for a new @DARPA program that is asking a very thorny question. Could doctors and medics make better life-and-death decisions with a little help from AI? LISTEN to this week's @ClickHereShow: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cou…
Calling all mathematicians! We need novel advancements for science and security. We recently announced an Advanced Research Concepts (ARC) topic called COMPASS — Critical Orientation of Mathematics to Produce Advancements in Science and Security. ow.ly/WpUi50V3PEi
🛜 🪨 We developed machine-learning tools to automate and accelerate key, time-consuming parts of the @USGS critical mineral assessment workflow. Resulting tools show promise in shrinking the assessment process to days compared to years using traditional methods.
DARPA demos will test novel tech for building future large structures in space. Manufacturing experiment will move from the lab to in-orbit evaluation: darpa.mil/news/2025/nove…
