The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Expedited Research Implementation Series (ERIS) is a long-term, open call for new and novel technology solutions. For this program competition DARPA seeks to obtain solutions or capabilities that deliver breakthrough technological advancements for the “DARPAVERSE” program.

The DARPAVERSE Program aims to create a collaborative environment that transforms how warfighters, analysts, and program managers interact with complex modeling systems, leading to a new, iterative, capability to develop multi-domain models of concepts and scenarios in less than a day.

To enable this capability the DARPAVERSE seeks new methods for the generation of composable reduced order models that can be generated from data and stored in a containerized software armory, along with methods to compose these models into orchestrated workflows using dependent type systems to understand correct composition using natural language interfaces that bridge communication gaps between technical and non-technical users.

This Special Topic Opportunity Page provides the content requirements and instructions for your submission. The actual submission, must be made through the ERIS Marketplace located here: https://www.darpaconnect.us/eris. After navigating to the ERIS Marketplace Page, click on the “Request ERIS Account” button to register for an ERIS account.
