- Description
- DARPA-BAA-10-21 (META) DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals to substantially improve the design, integration/manufacturing, and verification of complex cyber-physical systems, and particularly aerospace and defense systems such as aircraft, rotorcraft, and ground vehicles. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in this area. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. The proposed effort will culminate with the development of a complex advanced air and/or ground platform employing the new approach and demonstrating dramatic improvement in development time (and ultimately level of effort and cost). The ultimate goal of the META program is to make a dramatic improvement on the existing systems engineering, integration, and testing process for defense systems. META is not predicated on one particular alternative approach, metric, technique, or tool. Broadly speaking, however, it aims to develop model-based design methods for cyber-physical systems far more complex and heterogeneous than those to which such methods are applied today; to combine these methods with a rigorous deployment of hierarchical abstractions throughout the system architecture; to optimize system design with respect to an observable, quantitative measure of complexity for the entire cyber-physical systems; and to apply probabilistic formal methods to the system verification problem, thereby dramatically reducing the need for expensive real-world testing and design iteration. See attachment entitled, "DARPA-BAA-10-21," for details of the BAA.
