Strategic Technology Office (STO) Office-wide

Background
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. 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.

Work Details
The Statement of Work (SOW) requires proposers to clearly define the technical tasks/subtasks to be performed, their durations, dependencies among them, general description of the objective for each defined task/activity, detailed description of the approach to be taken to accomplish each defined task/activity, identification of the primary organization responsible for task execution, completion criteria for each task/activity, definition of all deliverables in support of the proposed research tasks/activities, identification of any tasks/subtasks that will be accomplished on-campus at a university.
The SOW should be developed so that each Phase of the program is separately defined without including any proprietary information.
