DARPA - Information Innovation Office

Description

DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of resilient defenses against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on computer networks. The XD3 program aims to thwart DDoS attacks by dispersing cyber assets (physically and/or logically), disguising the characteristics and behaviors of those assets, and mitigating the attacks (especially low‐volume attacks) that still penetrate the targeted environment. For further details see attached PDF, "DARPA-BAA-15-56 (XD3 BAA)" Amendment 1: The purpose of this amendment is to extend the Proposers Day registration deadline to August 28, 2015, and to clarify for those proposing against Technical Area 5 to include the Security POC on the cover sheet of the Volume 1 proposal. For further details see attached PDF, "DARPA-BAA-15-56 (XD3 BAA) Amendment 1" as the changes are highlighted in yellow. Amendment 2: The purpose of amendment 2 is to update the dollar threshold amounts for the requirement of certified cost or pricing data and subcontracting plan. See attached PDF, "DARPA-BAA-15-56 (XD3 BAA) Amendment 0002," for further details as the changes are highlighted in yellow.
