Redefining Possible - 2023

Background
The Tactical Technology Office (TTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting executive summaries, proposal abstracts, and proposals for applied research, advanced technology development, platform demonstrations, or systems studies that aim to redefine the future of warfighting across four domains: Air, Ground, Maritime, and Space. The mission of the Tactical Technology Office (TTO) is to redefine access and delivery of effects to every domain in the battlespace: Air, Ground, Maritime and Space in support of national security policy.

Grant Details
TTO is interested in quickly identifying promising technologies and moving them to the next phase of research and development. TTO recommends submitting an executive summary prior to a proposal abstract or a full proposal submission to have your concept reviewed by TTO personnel to gauge interest.

Eligibility Requirements
All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by DARPA. Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses and Minority Institutions are encouraged to submit proposals and join others in submitting proposals; however, no portion of this announcement will be set aside for these organizations’ participation due to the impracticality of reserving discrete or severable areas of this research for exclusive competition among these entities.

Period of Performance
The closing date and time for this grant opportunity is 4 PM Eastern Time on June 14, 2024. The period of performance for initial awards is anticipated to be for less than $1 million and less than 18 months duration.

Grant Value
Multiple awards are anticipated. The amount of resources made available under this BAA will depend on the quality of the proposals received and the availability of funds.
