IARPA to host End-Gen Proposers’ Day

On January 28, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) released information about its upcoming Endless Generative Waveforms (End-Gen) Proposers’ Day meeting. The meeting will take place on February 27, and registration is due by February 24 at noon Eastern.

The IARPA End-Gen Proposers’ Day meeting will be held on Thursday, 27 February 2025, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST in Arlington, VA, to introduce the End-Gen program to potential proposers and to provide information on technical requirements and program objectives. A virtual attendance option via Webex will also be available.

National security missions need to generate, store, use, transmit, and receive information and data both in secure facilities and “in the wild.” Waveforms are often used as the method for the transmission and reception of data generated in these types of missions. The importance of waveform design is shown by the significant commercial private sector investment to create waveforms that satisfy the population’s need for throughput and reliability of information. The U.S. government has also invested heavily into waveform development for their own mission needs. Due to the broad nature of missions, waveform development can be slow, expensive, and repetitious to meet needs in a changing world. A waveform development and acquisition cycle may take years to field new waveforms, potentially making them obsolete before becoming fully operational. The End-Gen program is interested in optimization frameworks, such as generative AIs, that can immediately create new waveforms to meet mission needs. Two uses of generative waveforms are of interest: generating waveforms in the wild directly or generating waveform protocols in a lab and then transferring to the wild.

REGISTRATION

Participants must register by Monday, 24 February 2025, at noon EST. Same-day registrations will not be accepted. Limited spots are available for in-person attendance and early registration is encouraged. Only three attendees per organization or research group will be permitted to attend in person. The link to register is: https://www.client-meeting.net/end-gen-meeting.
