Under the contract, Vencore will provide DARPA with a wireless defence framework that is robust in the face of attacks, has a very high accuracy rate, and imposes very little overhead on the network.

The company will provide a solution that incorporates existing hardware and equipment, therefore reducing costs.

Vencore Labs' common defensive framework will be applicable to multiple network technologies and able to protect these disparate networks.

Additionally, the company plans to develop techniques to detect and mitigate the impact of attacks on wireless network elements.
