On April 15, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued an invitation to a Proposers Day for Disruption through Intelligent Strategies, Counter Options, and Resilient Defenses (DISCORD).
DARPA will host a Proposers Day in support of DARPA-PS-26-27, the DISCORD program on 7 May 2026 at the SPA Arlington Research Collaboration Center (SPARCC), 4075 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, Virginia 22203 from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM ET. The purpose of this conference is to provide information on the DISCORD program; promote additional discussion on this topic; address questions from potential proposers; and provide a forum for potential proposers to present their capabilities for teaming opportunities.
The objective of the DISCORD program is to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-native1 tactics engine that can incorporate live sensor data and high-fidelity simulation to rapidly generate tactics that continuously adapt to changes in the operational environment. The goal is to provide commanders with a portfolio of diverse strategies that can pivot dynamically in response to evolving conditions. The DARPA DISCORD effort implements Ender’s Foundry, one of several warfighting Pace-Setting Projects (PSPs) established by the Department of War. Ender’s Foundry’s intent is to accelerate AI-enabled simulation capabilities to ensure we stay ahead of AI-enabled adversaries.
