Strategic Technology Office-wide Broad Agency Announcement

The Strategic Technology Office (STO) is soliciting proposals of any scope and duration, with priority given to short-duration exploratory projects – such as analytical studies or proof-of-concept experiments – that inform new program ideas and address critical mission needs. Proposals should clearly define the proposed work, its limitations compared to existing approaches (state of the art), and the innovative aspects of the approach, including a justification for anticipated success and potential impact on U.S. defense capabilities. Proposers are required to submit detailed task breakdowns with associated milestones, deliverables, and classifications (fundamental research or Controlled Unclassified Information - CUI) for each task/subtask. Proposals will be evaluated based on Overall Scientific and Technical Merit, Potential Contribution and Relevance to the DARPA Mission, and Cost Realism. Submission of information from all team members is the proposer’s responsibility, and adherence to the provided attachments (Abstract Summary Slide, Proposal Summary Slide, Technical and Management Volume, and Cost Volume) is required.
