DARPA’s TTO is seeking innovative executive summaries and proposals in the following focus areas:
- Design/Build/Buy – using innovative design approaches throughout the system lifecycle to acquire new defense systems, from disrupting systems engineering processes to reimagining test, certification and accreditation.
- Surge and Sustain – developing technologies that make existing military systems easy to replenish and abundantly available at the time of need.
- Long Range Effects – creating new systems and approaches that enable decisive military effects at distances from the tactical to strategic in areas where anti-access and area-denial strategies are employed by an adversary.
- Disruptive Innovation – rapidly fielding novel engineering, technology and systems approaches that disrupt the battlefield in unexpected or non-obvious ways and change the traditional calculus for military advantage.
Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices or systems.
Executive Summaries will be accepted and assessed on a rolling basis until 17 April 2026. Submission of Executive Summaries is required.
Invited Full Proposals will then be accepted and assessed on a rolling basis until 22 June 2026.
