The Defense Innovation Unit is seeking information on commercial platforms that could help automate credibility assessments used to vet new and existing Department of Defense personnel.
DIU said it is looking for a minimum viable product that comes with usable interfaces, automated scoring and new sensing tools under the Polygraph+ program.
Interested vendors should state in their solution briefs if they plan to provide prototypes for one or multiple lines of effort.
The program’s three lines of effort are non-invasive physiological or behavioral sensing for objective CA measurement; tools to automate data fusion and CA scoring, configurable for current and new data inputs; and usable, intuitive tools to aid evaluator decision making.
DOD is also interested in technologies that could apply natural language processing to CA.
Prototype development will be carried out in three phases and the initial phase will involve a benchmark of credibility assessment scoring and sensing tools. Phase 2 will deal with in-lab validation and iterative development cycles based on input from live testing, while Phase 3 will focus on network accreditation to ensure functionality and deployment on DOD platforms.
Responses are due June 5.
