DARPA to Hold Proposers Day on Power Grid Cyber Initiative

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has scheduled a Proposers Day for Dec. 14 to discuss an upcoming broad agency announcement on DARPA’s Rapid Attack Detection, Isolation and Characterization program.

DARPA said in a notice posted Dec. 3 the RADICS program seeks early-warning, situational awareness and threat characterization technologies to detect and respond to cyber attacks on critical infrastructure.

The agency has not scheduled a release date for the BAA on RADICS, which will aim to protect the U.S. power grid and systems that support Defense Department missions.

The Proposers Day will take place at the DARPA Conference Center in Arlington, Virginia.
