Altana has announced that its foundational research proposal has been recognized as “Awardable” on the DARPA Expedited Research Implementation Series (ERIS) Marketplace.
According to Altana, this status reflects rigorous evaluation through competitive processes and makes the proposal available to government customers holding ERIS Marketplace accounts. The initiative is intended to accelerate national security innovation by providing vetted solutions directly to decision-makers.
The company mentioned that its research, in collaboration with Janes, aims to build a dynamic, AI-powered model of the U.S. industrial base, particularly the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). This model is designed to help government agencies understand, manage, and enhance industrial capabilities in the context of strategic competition.
Charlie Kindermann, Global Head of Capture at Altana, stated that the project will equip policymakers with actionable insights, supporting mission resilience and informed decision-making across the defense sector.
Altana’s video outlining the research plan is now accessible on the DARPA ERIS Marketplace, presenting a phased approach to mapping and analyzing the industrial base for national security purposes.
