Due Date: 31 December 2021
Description: The future Army must be capable of conducting Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) as part of an integrated Joint Force across an array of scenarios in multiple theaters by 2035. The MDO concept describes how the Army will support the Joint Force in the rapid and continuous integration of all domains of warfare – land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace – to deter and prevail as we compete short of conflict, and fight and win if deterrence fail. The Army must provide game-changing capabilities to our Soldiers, leveraging the tools to operate at the pace of innovation.

SUSPENSE: Proposers’ Day: 15 December 2020 // Whitepapers Due – 15 February 2021
Description: The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) is soliciting proposals for establishing a multidisciplinary research center for extreme radio-frequency electronics (x-RF electronics) based on ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors and related emerging materials. 
The UWBG RF Electronics Center to be created will facilitate collaboration between extramural academic researchers and the Army in pursuit of a mutual goal: generating the foundational knowledge in solid-state physics, device structures, integrated circuit design, materials discovery and development, and physics-based machine learning needed to enable the next generation of RF electronics with unprecedented power, bandwidth, frequency agility, and size-weight-and power (SWaP) requirements. 

SUSPENSE: 15 Jan 2021
Description: MedTech Innovator. MedTech is looking for outstanding early- to mid-stage medical device, diagnostic, and digital health companies that are transforming healthcare.
MedTech Innovator is a highly selective and unique opportunity for start-ups and emerging growth companies to gain access to stakeholders across the healthcare industry including investors and industry leaders such as Johnson & Johnson, Baxter, Olympus, W.L. Gore, Fujikura, Nipro, Edwards Lifesciences, Maxim, and Asahi Intecc. Additionally, in 2021, we will give out $500,000 in non-dilutive cash prizes.

SUSPENSE:  8 Feb 2021
Description:  AFCEA’s Cyber Edge Writing Contest is Accepting Submissions Now! Theme: The Future of Cyber Warfighting

SUSPENSE: Rolling through 29 Oct 2025
Description: 
This BAA, announcement number BAA-21-R-NCFT, is sponsored by the U.S. AFC, Network-CFTU.S. AFC leads a continuous transformation of Army modernization in order to provide future warfighters with the concepts, capabilities, and organizational structures needed to dominate a future battlefield. The Network-CFT was established to address the most pressing challenges to the tactical network that our Soldiers use on the battlefield.

SUSPENSE: September 30, 2021
Description: ONR, ONR Global (ONRG), and the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) are interested in receiving proposals for Long-Range Science and Technology (S&T) Projects, which offer the potential for advancement and improvement of Navy and Marine Corps operations. Readers should note that this is an announcement to declare ONR’s broad role in competitive funding of meritorious research across a spectrum of science and engineering disciplines.

SUSPENSE: May 24, 2021
Description: The Army is supporting the identification and development of a new class of “Emerging Technology Leaders” (ETLs). An ETL is a uniformed expert who serves as the interface between the Army's operational community and the technical community (i.e. scientists, engineers, and technologists). The Army seeks research solutions leveraging data science and/or machine learning techniques that will revolutionize how the Army recruits, develops, selects, and distributes talent across the force.

Due Date: 24 May 2021
Description: The Army Center for Synthetic Biology is a basic research program initiated by the Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM)/Army Research Laboratory (ARL)/Army Research Office (ARO). It focuses on areas of strategic importance to U.S. national security. It seeks to increase the Army's intellectual capital in synthetic biology and improve its ability to address future challenges.

SUSPENSE: 10 December 2020
Description: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, comprised of the Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate’s SBIR Program and the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office SBIR Program, invites small business concerns to review this pre-solicitation for Fiscal Year (FY) 21. 

SUSPENSE: 17 December 2020
Description: USSOCOM System Integration Partner (SIP) Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON):
Background: Special Operations Forces (SOF) operate in ever-increasing complex environments. On the precipice of a revolution in military affairs, our adversaries have harnessed the exponential growth of Unmanned Systems (UxS) and consumer-based technology to supplant U.S. air supremacy. Service-provided solutions have begun to address the modern threat, however, fail to meet unique requirements driven by the innate need for SOF to deploy optimized CUxS solutions that reduce Operator burden. USSOCOM requires a System Integration Partner (SIP) to bring together Family of Systems (FoS) solutions that combine various sensors and effectors to meet the evolving needs of SOF operators.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is seeking a sensor or suite of sensors and artificial intelligence/machine learning algorithms (AI/ML) that can detect, locate, and classify potentially hazardous objects or conditions on surfaces based on sensor-generated data.

USSF is considering establishing a Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) program to accelerate the development of transformational commercial space access, mobility, and logistics technologies that can be on-ramped when available. This RDT&E program will play a significant role in the shaping of the next NSSL launch service procurement strategy which will strive to incentivize and leverage industry innovation.
