March 27, 2026 (Amendment 01): Reference Summary of Changes document. February 25, 2026 (Original Posting Date): Cyber Physical Systems Executing in Real Time (CyPhER) Forge aims to revolutionize defense Test & Evaluation (T&E) by breaking the direct link between physical system complexity and test duration. DARPA intends to use a phased acquisition approach for the CyPhER Forge program. The planned 30-month, three (3) phase program seeks to reduce required test points by order of magnitude for developmental systems through two (2) core innovations, using flight testing as a primary demonstration and validation environment.
