Program Objective & Description

The objective of the Kallisti program is to develop an algorithmic model of adversarial platform situational awareness and predict future behavior. The program will seek to combine algorithms with human expertise to explore, in a modeling and simulation environment, potential courses of action in national security scenarios with far greater breadth and efficiency than is currently possible. Kallisti seeks to provide decision-makers with more options for incentive frameworks while preventing unwanted escalation. The program will seek not only to understand an actor’s current strategy but also to find a decomposed version of the strategy into relevant basis vectors to track strategy changes under non-stationary assumptions.

Event Participation

Registration

DARPA hosts Proposers Days to promote teaming arrangements between researchers; 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, Proposers Days are open only to registered potential proposers.

There is no registration fee for the Proposers Day. The registration deadline is Friday, January 31, 2025, at 1700 ET or when capacity is reached, whichever comes first.  Advance registration is required to participate in the meeting. 

Due to space limitations of the conference facility, attendance will be limited to the first 136 registrants, and no more than 2 representatives per organization. Individuals who are unable to register because the deadline has occurred or capacity has been reached may request to be added to the waitlist. If slots become available due to cancellations, the slots may be filled on a first come, first served basis from the waitlist.

Eligibility - U.S. Persons (Citizens and Permanent Residents)

Attendance at the DARPA Kallisti Proposers Day is limited to U.S. Persons (citizens and permanent residents). All registrants must complete and submit a DARPA Form 104 to ensure they meet the conditions of meeting attendance no later than Friday, January 31, 2025 at 1700 ET. The Form 104 becomes CUI once completed and includes PII such as SSN. Registrants should submit the DARPA Form 104 via encrypted email to kallisti@darpa.mil, or lacking that capacity, contact kallisti@darpa.mil to request a link to send the document via DoD Safe. Link to downloadable Form 104 will be provided in the registration confirmation email.

Eligibility - U.S. Permanent Residents

All registrants who are not U.S. Citizens must complete and submit either a DARPA Form 60 (U.S. Permanent Resident and Foreign National Visit Request — e.g., industry or academia) or an Official Visit Request (foreign government personnel, only) through the Embassy based in Washington, DC, no later than Friday, January 31, 2025 at 1700 ET. Form 60 submission instructions will be provided in the registration confirmation email. Contact your Embassy staff for assistance in submitting the Official Visit Request.

Sidebars

There will be an opportunity to meet individually with Dr. Eric Davis for a brief (~7 minutes) one-on-one session from 1330-1630. Please contact kallisti@darpa.mil to schedule an individual session.

Posters

DARPA highly encourages teaming before proposal submission and will assist in facilitating teaming. A poster session will be held from 1330-1530 ET to facilitate interaction among attendees and to give an opportunity to showcase capabilities and build strong teams to solve the challenges presented in the Kallisti program. Due to limited space, DARPA will accept submissions on a first-come, first-served basis and does not guarantee that an attendee’s requests to present will be fulfilled. No template for the poster will be provided; however, posters should highlight proposer capabilities and teaming requirements and must include presenter’s contact information. Posters should not contain any DARPA-SN-25-32 Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or classified information and must be suitable for unlimited public release. There is a limit of one poster per organization, and posters should be no larger than 24” x 36”. Registrants must indicate their intent to participate in the poster session during registration. Poster materials will be reviewed and should be submitted to kallisti@darpa.mil, attention to Jay Livingston. Please contact kallisti@darpa.mil with any questions.

All material to be displayed at the conference must be approved in advance by both the organization that funded the research and the DARPA Program Manager. The DARPA Program Manager will screen the proposed material for sensitive but unclassified material and approve in advance any presentations. It is the presenter’s responsibility to ensure that all material they plan to present at the Proposers Day has been approved by the funding organization in advance. An electronic copy of all material to be presented must be provided to the DARPA Program Manager for review by 1700 ET, January 31, 2025. There will be no exceptions to this requirement. Companies are free to present, but DARPA does not sponsor the information.
