Media release will be coming... I am waiting to hear directly from DARPA and get things rolling.

This whole thing kinda fell in my lap with others doing most of the proposal writing and meeting with DARPA late last year.
I am not sure of where DARPA sees this going since we were precluded from talking to them directly between selection and award (contract negotiation time).  I'm pretty sure they want to give us some basic parameters and send us off to do great stuff.

I look forward to talking with in more detail about it in the not too distant future!
