About this file
The file is an Excel-based Milestone Schedule for the DARPA Rads to Watts Program, detailing nine specific research milestones focused on radiation-to-electricity conversion technology. The milestones cover technical progression from an initial kickoff meeting through progressively complex unit cell testing, with specific deliverables due between Month 2 and Month 20 of the project. Key milestone objectives include documenting experimental plans, conducting real-time unit cell tests with radiation sources, verifying unit cell radiation fluence resistance, and generating reports on materials performance, power estimates, and modeling/simulation results.
Each milestone requires a detailed report summarizing technical performance, with specific focus on materials architectures, radiation resilience, and achieving performance metrics like fluence levels (>1E+14/cm2 and >1E+17/cm2) and power density targets (>10 W/kg). The schedule indicates some later milestone payments and specific CLINs are to be determined (TBD), suggesting flexibility in the final contract structure. The milestones align with the broader DARPA solicitation goal of developing radiovoltaic technologies capable of scaling from milliwatt to kilowatt-level power generation using innovative radiation-hardened materials and techniques.
