The opportunity is part of DARPA's Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910), which supports high-risk, high-reward research across scientific and technological domains. Funding instruments include cooperative agreements and procurement contracts, targeting educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and commercial firms to develop transformative defense capabilities and prevent technological surprise.
