Company Enters Phase 2 of Cooperative Agreement to Validate Provenance of Materials for National Defense

ALEXANDRIA, VA (December 2, 2024) – HyperSpectral, the world’s first AI-powered spectral intelligence company with hardware-agnostic solutions for target detection, announced the initiation of Phase 2 in its cooperative agreement with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Building on progress from Phase 1, HyperSpectral will refine its spectral intelligence technology to validate the end-to-end provenance of critical military components and manufacturing processes, ensuring compliance with the Department of Defense’s stringent domestic sourcing requirements.

“Our team is proud to continue this vital work with DARPA as we move into Phase 2,” said Matt Theurer, co-founder and CEO of HyperSpectral. “This next phase will demonstrate our technology’s ability to track and validate properties of a wide variety of materials, reinforcing the resilience of domestic supply chains beginning with critical minerals vital to national defense.”

DARPA’s collaboration with HyperSpectral aligns with the agency’s mission to develop breakthrough technologies for national security. As U.S. reliance on critical minerals grows, ensuring secure, domestic sources is paramount for the Department of Defense to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities. HyperSpectral’s technology, combining AI and spectroscopy, offers a cutting-edge solution that analyses the unique spectral fingerprints of materials to confirm their origins and properties with precision.
