    Summary

    The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of heterogeneous, cyber fault-tolerant computation to enable rapid detection of and recovery from cyber-attacks. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.

    The objective of the CFAR program is to produce revolutionary breakthroughs in defensive cyber techniques that can be deployed to protect existing and planned software systems in both military and civilian contexts without requiring changes to the concept of operations of these systems.
