About this opportunity

DARPA's Strategic Technology Office (STO) is seeking innovative and disruptive technologies to provide the U.S. military and national security leaders with new capabilities to win across all physical domains. STO is interested in high-risk, high-reward "breakthrough" projects that could achieve significant changes or fundamental shifts in technical capabilities. Proposals are being accepted on a rolling basis until November 15, 2024, and DARPA plans to make multiple awards through a variety of procurement instruments, including contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, and other transactions. Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific and technical merit, relevance to the DARPA mission, and cost realism.

This pre-solicitation notice does not use any set-aside designations. The contract opportunity is open to all interested parties, and DARPA has not identified any potential incumbents or current contractors. While the notice does not provide specific award values or budget ranges, DARPA is seeking to develop and deliver solutions at a speed and scale to be operationally relevant in a relatively short time, just a few years from the initiation of the project to proof of concept.

Update #2 · Latest ·

The purpose of this amendment is to make the following revision, which is highlighted in yellow on page 5:1) Update the BAA closing date to November 15, 2024.

DARPA’s Strategic Technology Office (STO) is seeking innovative ideas and disruptive
technologies that provide the U.S. military and national security leaders trusted, disruptive
capabilities to win in all physical domains (Air, Space, Sea, and Land) and across the spectrum
of competition, from deterrence to high-end peer combat. STO seeks to carry out DARPA’s
mission of creating high-risk, high-reward “breakthrough” technologies with a focus on
ambitious, difficult, and revolutionary projects that achieve significant changes or fundamental
shifts in technical capabilities and give our warfighters new ways to fight. STO will develop and
deliver solutions at a speed and scale to be operationally relevant in a relatively short time, just a
few years, from the initiation of the project to proof of concept.

STO is a “systems office,” seeking to create new “proof-of-concept” mission systems. Its goals
are to develop and demonstrate new capabilities that expand what is technically possible.
