SUNNYVALE, Calif. Supercomputing company Cerebras Systems announced it won a new contract from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the development of a state-of-the-art high-performance computing system -- optimized for real-time artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) -- that is ultimately aimed at use in the U.S. defense sector and by commercial concerns.

MALIBU, Calif. Technology research concern HRL Laboratories will present a superior cooling system for stacks of microelectronic chips as part of a project launched by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) that seeks to create compact thermal-management technology in a chip stack using 3D heterogeneous integration (3DHI).

ARLINGTON, Va. The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS) program completed construction on a prototype of a ship designed to operate autonomously for long durations at sea.

ARLINGTON, Va. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched what it named the Intensity-Squeezed Photonic Integration for Revolutionary Detectors (INSPIRED) program that has as its goal to develop compact, cost-effective optical detectors that can operate at unprecedented sensitivities, enabling optical signals previously buried in quantum noise to be clearly detected.

ARLINGTON, Va. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is conducting a program of research into evaluating the ability of autonomous weapons systems to follow human-like ethical norms. 

MERRIMACK, NH. BAE Systems' FAST Labs research and development organization agreed to a $6 million contract with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as part of the DARPA Pipelined Reasoning of Verifiers Enabling Robust Systems (PROVERS) program, which is aimed at further securing software development across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. RTX's BBN Technologies unit won a contract to support the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Compartmentalization and Privilege Management (CPM) program, which seeks to harden cybesecurity for legacy computing systems.
