Air Force asks industry for enabling technologies in trusted computers and software for the military
ROME, N.Y. – U.S. Air Force researchers are asking industry for trusted computing technologies that enable secure, resilient, affordable command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, and cyber information processing.
Officials of the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate in Rome, N.Y., issued a broad agency announcement on Monday (FA8750-25-S-7001) for the Foundations of Trusted Systems project for military command and control applications.
Researchers are focusing on technologies that support hardware and software for high-assurance, trusted, and secure computers. This announcement is a follow-on to a separate project announced in 2020 also titled Foundations of Trusted Systems (FA8750-20-S-7012).
This project has two technical areas: trusted, secure, and resilient computational systems; and trusted and assured software.
Trusted computers
Trusted, secure, and resilient computational systems seeks to develop elements, tools, and methodologies for trusted, secure and resilient computing, which includes hardware, software, power, cost, performance, and reliability.
