About this award
DARPA awarded a $3.67M Other Transaction Agreement to Curtin University, an Australia-based research institution, for the Transponder for Ionospheric Signal Monitoring and Analysis (TISMA) project. The research effort is scheduled for completion by January 31, 2027, with the contract awarded on August 1, 2024. This non-set-aside agreement leverages Curtin University's established expertise in atmospheric monitoring and advanced scientific research capabilities to support DARPA's mission in defense-related technology development. As a private non-profit research-intensive institution registered with the U.S. federal government since 2006, Curtin brings specialized technical competencies in atmospheric and ionospheric analysis to this defense research initiative.
The TISMA project represents a continuation of DARPA's investment in Curtin University's research portfolio, with the university demonstrating a track record of successful federal contract execution across multiple defense and civilian agencies. The work will be performed in Australia and aligns with DARPA's strategic focus on advanced sensing and signal analysis capabilities. This contract award underscores the agency's reliance on international academic partnerships to advance critical research objectives in areas where specialized expertise and infrastructure are concentrated.
