Lambda Science, Inc. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N193-143
Lambda Science, Inc. — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Defense.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Defense in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $140,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code N193-143 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Lambda Science, Inc. (LSI) will develop innovative and operationally effective approaches to exploit weaknesses (i.e., defeat) in an adversary’s cognitive sensing systems, and in doing so devise methods and techniques including CONOPS that protect our own cognitive radar and EW sensor systems. LSI will develop methods to construct adversarial examples and demonstrate their effectiveness to defeat ML architectures. The concept of adversarial sample transferability will be employed to quantify misclassification rates against ML methods. The Phase 1 effort will also develop and evaluate adversarial example detectors using a generalized threat model.
