Predicting Force Protection Threats against DTRA from Foreign Adversarial Messaging

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is seeking innovative solutions through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop predictive models that can identify potential threats stemming from foreign adversarial messaging. The primary objective is to create a capability that predicts when such messaging may escalate from online platforms into physical actions against DTRA personnel or facilities, thereby enhancing force protection and public affairs strategies. This initiative is crucial for safeguarding DTRA's operations and reputation in an increasingly complex information environment. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is set to open on April 23, 2025, with applications due by May 21, 2025, and further details can be found at the DOD SBIR website.
