In the Moment (ITM)

The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals for research and technology development that supports the building, evaluating, and fielding of algorithmic decision-makers that can assume human-off-the-loop decision-making responsibilities in difficult domains, such as combat medical triage. Difficult domains are those where trusted decision-makers disagree; no right answer exists; and uncertainty, time-pressure, resource limitations, and conflicting values create significant decision-making challenges. Other examples of difficult domains include first response and disaster relief. Two specific domains have been identified for this effort - small unit triage in austere environments and mass casualty triage.
