The Assessing Immune Memory (AIM) program proposes the development of a platform that will "uncover new biomolecular correlates..." and "incorporate next-generational analytical and computational approaches to determine the host response mechanisms that lead to long-lasting protection". [READ @ darpa.mil] Taking Guesswork Out of Vaccine Development This initiative is still in its infancy, but its proposal guidelines are rather specific. [READ @ sam.gov] Assessing Immune Memory (AIM) Biological Technologies Office   "DARPA is soliciting innovative proposals that will apply systems biology principles to develop a research and evaluation (R&E) tool for practical assessment of immune memory responses to vaccination. A responsive proposal will integrate biomolecular profiling approaches with computational tools and methods to derive actionable and testable mechanisms from multidimensional datasets. Specifically excluded is research that involves: 1. The focused ...

"Artificial intelligence has defeated chess grandmasters, Go champions, professional poker players, and, now, world-class human experts in the online strategy games Dota 2 and StarCraft II. No AI currently exists, however, that can outduel a human strapped into a fighter jet in a high-speed, high-G dogfight. As modern warfare evolves to incorporate more human-machine teaming, DARPA seeks to automate air-to-air combat, enabling reaction times at machine speeds and freeing pilots to concentrate on the larger air battle."
