By On February 7, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced that it plans to hold a Proposers Day for the SABER effort. The SABER hybrid Proposers Day will be held on March 12, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM ET in person at the Executive Conference Center, located at 4075 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, Virginia, 22203 and virtually via Zoom for Government.
The event will consist of an open session from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and a limited, U.S. persons-only session from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Non-U.S. persons are eligible to attend the 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM open session. The 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM session is limited to U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents from U.S. organizations only. No more than three representatives per organization unit, and five people per overall organization, may attend this Proposers Day. Registrants are strongly encouraged to coordinate attendance internally within their organizations prior to registration.
In-person registration must be completed no later than February 25, 2025 5:00 PM ET. Registration is on a first come first serve basis with a limit of 136 participants per session. Any U.S. citizen seeking to attend the Proposers Day in-person will be required to present a valid, Government-issued photo identification at the registration table prior to admittance into the event.
There is a growing desire to integrate rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into Department of Defense (DoD) systems. AI may give battlefield advantage by helping improve the speed, quality, and accuracy of decision-making while enabling autonomy and assistive automation.
Today, there is still a limited ability to operationally assess deployed military AI-enabled systems for adversarial vulnerabilities and the “theoretical” adversarial AI attacks have not been practically demonstrated in operational settings. As a result, the operational security risks of AI-enabled battlefield systems remain largely unknown.
SABER aims to build an exemplar AI red team equipped with the necessary counter-AI techniques, tools, and technical competency to operationally assess AI-enabled battlefield systems. SABER seeks to establish a sustainable model for an operational AI red teaming process for the DoD. Our AI red team will target operationally assessing AI-enabled autonomous ground and aerial systems that could be deployed within the next 1-3 years.
To assist the AI red team, the future solicitation will seek performers who can assist in surveying, evaluating, selecting, developing, and employing state-of-the-art physical (including manufacturing/materials), adversarial AI (including digital), cyber, and electronic warfare techniques and tools, or other relevant vectors for operational assessment of AI-enabled battlefield system development and deployment pipelines[5]. Additionally, the forthcoming solicitation will seek a performer to serve as an integration lead, assisting in integrating the technologies into an interoperable, operational AI red teaming toolkit to enable future AI red teams for the DoD and broader U.S. Government.
