The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Tactical Technology Office (TTO) is sponsoring an Industry Day to provide information to potential proposers on the objectives of the Cyber Physical System Executing in Real Time (CyPhER) Forge program in advance of a planned Program Solicitation (PS). This event provides a valuable forum for attendees to gain insights into the CyPhER Forge objectives, network with colleagues, and to engage with subject matter experts.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

CyPhER Forge aims to revolutionize defense test and evaluation (T&E) by breaking the direct link between physical system complexity and test duration. The program seeks to reduce required test points by an order of magnitude for developmental systems through two (2) core innovations:

1. A real-time digital twin incorporating multi-physics-informed surrogate modeling, uncertainty quantification, and continuous data assimilation.
2. An artificial intelligence (AI) test agent that provides statistical safety guarantees, applies the twin to identify novel knowledge-maximizing test protocols, and plan and execute testing with machine precision. The integrated digital twin and AI test agent, called a Cyber Physical System Executing in Real Time (CyPhER), will be an automated, adaptive, end-to-end planning, execution, and analysis solution operating in real time that directly addresses major drivers of modern T&E timelines. CyPhER Forge will culminate in the demonstration of an accelerated flight sciences test campaign using an instrumented, experimental aircraft as the primary validation platform.
