About this file
This document provides guidance and templates for proposals submitted in response to solicitation number HR001117S0011, issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The solicitation seeks proposals for the design, development, and demonstration of a swarm system architecture encoded in a game-based environment and embodied in physical swarm autonomous platforms, to advance the innovation, interaction, and integration of novel swarm tactics.
The document outlines the requirements for eight proposal attachments, including a cover sheet, summary slides, cost summary spreadsheet, and sections addressing administrative and technical requirements. Proposals are required to demonstrate the objectives, approach, organization, costs, and ability to accomplish milestones for developing a swarm system. The cost summary spreadsheet must provide pricing for base and option periods, level of effort, bill of materials, and travel costs. The technical section must describe the objective, vision, approach, intended impact, and highlight risks and payoffs.
