DARPA and Linux Foundation Team Up to Accelerate Open‑Source 5G, Edge, and AI Innovation
The Linux Foundation and DARPA have forged a partnership to create open‑source software that will speed up U.S. government research and deployment of 5G, edge computing, IoT, AI, and security technologies, leveraging a shared architecture and community projects.
The Linux Foundation announced a partnership with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop open‑source software that will accelerate federal research and innovation.
The collaboration, formalized on February 17, will create the US Government Open Programmable Secure (US GOV OPS) initiative, starting with the OPS 5G project to speed the creation and deployment of 5G, edge and IoT technologies.
The effort aims to boost U.S. competitiveness in 5G, edge computing, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and security by leveraging a common open‑source architecture and a suite of projects that enhance a secure end‑to‑end 5G stack.
It will draw on existing Linux Foundation open‑source projects and community work, including disaggregation, SDN/NFV and cloud‑native technologies.
“We look forward to partnering with DARPA to accelerate secure, open‑source innovation and U.S. leadership in breakthrough technologies,” said Arpit Joshipura, General Manager of Networking, Edge and IoT at the Linux Foundation.
