DARPA and the Applied Research Institute (ARI) are initiating a long-term, open call for new and novel technology solutions to support DARPA in advancing research, development, prototyping, experimentation, and adoption of disruptive, DARPA-relevant research and technology solutions.
Specifically, DARPA seeks to obtain solutions or capabilities that deliver breakthrough technological advancements that are new as of the date of submission or technologies, processes, research, or methods that represent a new application as of the date of submission.
ERIS will accept video pitch submissions (up to 7 minutes) and supporting documents up until 30 May 2025 on an ongoing basis. Submissions will be collated and assessed monthly.
Pitches are to focus on one or more of the strategic focus areas, which are expected to evolve over time.
Current Strategic Focus Areas
- detecting and tracking elusive objects of interest across air, land and space domains
- overcoming limitations of current sensing systems (size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C); performance)
- developing advanced antenna technologies for improved performance and reduced size.
