This is a 36-month research program focused on cybersecurity performance in artificial intelligence, structured in two phases: a 3-month Security Startup Period, an 18-month Base Phase 1, and an 18-month Option Phase 2. Proposals are being solicited for both of these primary phases. Offerors must also provide a cost estimate for a potential 12-month Transition Phase, though it is not part of the current solicitation. Multiple awards are anticipated. No specific budget or performance location is detailed in this description.
