About this award
The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command awarded a $359,381 firm-fixed-price contract to Australian National University (ANU) on June 30, 2023, to conduct fundamental research toward developing a synthetic theory of extended topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). The award, which carries an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2026, originated from a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Indo-Pacific seeking innovative research proposals across multiple scientific domains with potential military applications. No set-aside designation was used for this award, and the work will be performed at ANU's facilities in Australia.
ANU, a prominent international research institution registered in the System for Award Management since 2006, brings specialized expertise in quantum physics and advanced theoretical research to support U.S. Army technological priorities. The BAA from which this award derived anticipated multiple awards ranging from $5,000 to $9.5 million over five-year periods, with approximately $1.9 million available annually for seed projects and international collaborative research initiatives. This contract exemplifies the Army's investment in fundamental scientific research conducted through international academic partnerships to advance defense capabilities and maintain technological superiority in emerging quantum science domains.
