Charles River Analytics, a leading provider of human-centered AI R&D, implementation, and deployment, today announced that it has achieved “Awardable” status through the DARPA Expedited Research Implementation Series (ERIS) Marketplace for a solution leading stakeholder engagement and experimentation events to inform scaling of the US industrial base. The DARPA ERIS Marketplace is a transformative digital platform designed to accelerate acquisition velocity and advance national security innovation. This repository houses 7-minute pitch videos of awardable solutions that have undergone rigorous assessment through competitive procedures and are available to Government customers with an ERIS Marketplace account.
Charles River’s solution draws from a breadth of modular knowledge elicitation, modeling, and analysis techniques, grounded in Cognitive Systems Engineering, to compose a series of stakeholder touchpoints across a program lifecycle. Proven across DARPA and ARPA-H programs, this approach enables faster transition of operationally viable technologies by aligning development with real-world demands from the start.
As detailed in our video titled Accelerated and Context-Rich Events for Enhanced Industrial Base Experimentation and Stakeholder Engagement (ENHANCE-IB), accessible only by government customers on the DARPA ERIS Marketplace, our approach advances the state of the art through a scalable, structured engagement framework that identifies integration risks and requirement gaps upfront, reducing redesign costs and accelerating deployment.
“Using a centralized platform like the DARPA ERIS Marketplace to connect solutions with Government users is smart and efficient,” said Dr. Nicolette McGeorge, Senior Scientist at Charles River Analytics. “ENHANCE-IB also helps bring stakeholders together—to understand, model, and test constraints on the scaling of the US industrial base while incorporating stakeholder feedback from the beginning of the process.”
The Charles River Analytics team, including our partners at The Ohio State University, was recognized among a competitive field of applicants to the ERIS Marketplace whose solutions demonstrated innovation and potential impact on DoD missions. Government customers interested in viewing the video solution can create an ERIS Marketplace account at www.darpaconnect.us/eris.
