Assured Micropatching (AMP) Proposers Day

The Information Innovation Office is holding a Proposers Day meeting to provide information to researchers on the objectives of the new Assured Micropatching (AMP) program and to facilitate teaming. The goal of AMP is to create the capability for rapid patching of legacy binaries in mission-critical systems, including cases in which the original source code version and/or build process is not available. AMP will create new capabilities to analyze, modify, and fix legacy software in binary form, to produce assured targeted micropatches for known security flaws in existing binaries.

Ultimately, AMP intends to demonstrate the use of targeted micropatches for repairing legacy mission-critical binaries with strong guarantees that the patch will not impact the baseline functions of the system. DARPA expects that these prototypes will provide a starting point for technology transition to mission-critical software for cyber-physical system domains.

Additional details on the Proposers Day, including registration instructions, are available at https://go.usa.gov/xVDTt. Registration closes at 12:00 PM ET on September 19, 2019, or when capacity is reached. Please address administrative questions to AMP@darpa.mil and refer to the AMP Proposers Day (DARPA-SN-19-76) in all correspondence.

DARPA hosts Proposers Days to provide potential performers with information on whether and how they might respond to the Government’s research and development solicitations and to increase efficiency in proposal preparation and evaluation. Therefore, the AMP Proposers Day is open only to registered potential applicants, and not to the media or general public. TAGS
