Opportunities

Due Date: 8 April 2021
Description: AFWERX is seeking diverse industry partnerships and engagement to identify key technology sectors under the Digital Wargaming initiative, that if “primed” by government engagement, could advance US national security and economic interests. This campaign is part of the Digital Prime initiative

Due Date: 21 April 2021
Description: Develop a low-cost LPD waveform for contested environments supporting multi-domain operations. The Army desires the development of a waveform with featureless properties that results in reduced susceptibility to detection and enables operation under extremely low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) conditions in both the time and frequency domain.

Due Date: 2021-03-10
Description: The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks a real-time emergency response ground-based drop-in, private 5G communications solution that avoids integration complexity and carrier dependency. Currently, service members supporting DoD emergency response operations rely on public LTE/4G, range-limited WiFi, and conventional encrypted radios.

Due Date: 8 April 2021
Description: AFWERX is seeking diverse industry partnerships and engagement to identify key technology sectors under the Smart Spacecraft campaign. If “primed” by government engagement, it could advance US national security and economic interests. This campaign is part of Space Prime initiative.

Due Date: 8 April 2021
Description: AFWERX is seeking diverse industry partnerships and engagement to identify key technology sectors under Digital Engineering, that, if “primed” by government engagement, could advance US national security and economic interests. This campaign is part of the Digital Engineering Prime initiative.

Due Date: Abstract Due Date: March 19, 2021, 4:00 p.m
Description: The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of new materials, manufacturing, and design technologies to enable future structures to be built on orbit utilizing Earth or lunar-derived materials

Due Date: 2021-03-14
Description: The Department of Defense is seeking solutions for an integrated space-based robotic manipulation system that includes robotic arms, an interface to capture and move a modular component, and a modular component with an additional interface to connect to a spacecraft.

Due Date: 23 March 2021
Description: The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of direct-view night vision (NV) systems in eyeglass form factors. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.

Due Date: 9 April 2021
Description: The resurgence of supersonic/high-speed passenger travel is gaining momentum due to advances in technology that allow for accelerated design and construction. Vector Prime is looking to synergize with the commercial sector to help accelerate commercial supersonic development by facilitating access to testing facilities and comprehensive flight data analysis.

Due Date: 12 March 2021
Description: Simply stated, autonomy is a command and control paradigm in which one cedes a portion of their authority to a subordinate – in our case, a machine. Autonomy does not mean independence, as the system is acting as an agent on behalf of the human operator who sets the objectives and constraints and remains responsible for the autonomous system’s actions.

Due Date: 8 April 2021
Description: Through AFWERX Prime, public and private industries can partner with the Department of the United States Air Force to advance innovation in the energy sector by participating in a market research campaign meant to inform how resources, technical support, access to testing facilities, regulatory support or other engagement can accelerate specific market segments.

Due Date: 14 March 2021
Description: The Department of Defense seeks a long-range, integrated multi-spectrum camera system, computer vision, and edge compute capability for detection, identification, observation, and warning.

The solution must be capable of tracking and identifying objects (e.g. aircraft and vehicles) in real-time from distances of 30 nautical miles or more. Intended use cases will require day, night, and all-weather functionality.

Due Date: 13 March 2022
Description: This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not addressed by ongoing DARPA MTO programs or other published solicitations. MTO Mission and Thrust Areas:
Since its inception in 1991, MTO Microsystems Technology Office has helped create and prevent strategic surprise through investments in compact microelectronic components such as microprocessors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and photonic devices.

Due Date: 31 December 2021
Description: To provide game-changing capabilities to our warfighters, DARPA must have the tools to operate at the pace of innovation. To capitalize on small business innovation, DARPA advertises SBIR and STTR funding opportunities on a “just-in-time” basis, outside of the three pre-determined announcements issued at the Department of Defense level.

Due Date: 31 October 2021
Description: DARPA's Strategic Technology Office (STO) is seeking innovative ideas, and disruptive technologies that provide the U.S. military increased lethality in an era of eroding dominance within the broader Mosaic Warfare focus areas objective: Mosaic Technologies, Mosaic Effects Web Services (EWS), and Mosaic Experimentation.
