Raytheon to Develop Rationality-Training Games

The goal of the Sirius Program is to create experimental Serious Games to train participants and measure their proficiency in recognizing and mitigating the cognitive biases that commonly affect all types of intelligence analysis.

I'm not sure IARPA is commissioning Raytheon to do this for public benefit.

Without having Something To Protect more immediate than "public benefit," I doubt their effort would be worth much. As long as some of their results are publically released, it sounds like a net benefit.

That's probably true unfortunately. The Network World article uses the words "featuring an international detective theme", which made me think that it might be (at least eventually) intended for public release, but there's no mention of that in the RFP. The themes will probably be up to the individual designers, and there's also no mention of public release in the RFP.
