IARPA: Office of Smart Collection

IARPA: Office for Smart Collection has these topics of interest:

Innovative methods or tools for identifying and/or creating novel sources of new information

·         Sensor technologies that dramatically improve the reach, sensitivity, size, weight, power and duration for collection of broad signal or signature types

·         Methods for combining different measures and/or sensors to improve performance and accuracy of systems

·         Approaches for assessing and quantifying the ecological-validity of behavioral, neuro- and social science research

·         Innovative approaches to gain access to denied environments

·         Secure communication to and from collection points

·         Tagging, Tracking, and Location (TTL) techniques

·         Electrically small antennas and other advanced radio frequency (RF) concepts

·         Agile architectures that intelligently distill useful information at the collector

·         Innovative means and methods to ensure the veracity of data collected from a variety of sources

·         Automated methods for sensor data fusion without predefined interface descriptions

·         Approaches to enable signal collection systems to conduct more effective targeted information acquisition rather than bulk collection

·         · Tools to identify and mask signal streams and records that contain personal information to avoid unauthorized collection and dissemination
