Description
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals for the data-informed development of generalizable models and principles for aeronautical design and the optimal control of turbulent systems. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. The program has two phases: a 24-month Phase I base period and a 24-month Phase II period for the demonstration of challenge problems. Phase I will focus on the development and accumulation of precision ground-truth data in the proposed regimes of parameter space and the use of such data to develop macroscale principles and surrogate models.
Some key points to consider:
* The program is looking for innovative approaches to develop generalizable models and principles for aeronautical design and control of turbulent systems.
* The program has two phases, with Phase I focusing on the development of precision ground-truth data and macroscale principles and surrogate models.
* Proposers should consider the technical areas outlined in the solicitation, including rigorous uncertainty quantification, interpretability of macroscale design principles and surrogate models, and demonstration of universality of the macroscale design principles and surrogate models.
* Proposers should also consider the program structure, including the 48-month program duration and the two-phase approach.
* The program is open to all responsible sources, including both U.S. and non-U.S. sources.
