Description

March 26, 2026: The purpose of this updated Program Solicitation is to release the Abstract Question and Answers. Reference attached document "DARPA-PS-26-04_Abstract Questions and Answers_CyPhER Forge_03-26-2026".

February 25, 2026: Original Posting: Cyber Physical Systems Executing in Real Time (CyPhER) Forge aims to revolutionize defense Test & Evaluation (T&E) by breaking the direct link between physical system complexity and test duration. DARPA intends to use a phased acquisition approach for the CyPhER Forge program. The planned 30-month, three (3) phase program seeks to reduce required test points by an order of magnitude for developmental systems through two (2) core innovations: a physics-informed, uncertainty aware, data-assimilating digital twin and a knowledge maximizing, safety-assuring artificial intelligence-based test agent. CyPhER Forge will use flight testing as a primary demonstration and validation environment.
