Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) mission is to create technological surprise for national security, driving its research and development (R&D) programs to transform revolutionary concepts into practical capabilities for the military and civilian society. Under DARPA’s Commercial Solutions Opening (DCSO), DARPA seeks to close military and civilian capability gaps with commercial solutions derived from the Agency’s R&D programs.

This DCSO is issued by DARPA Commercial Strategy within the Director’s Office. The Commercial Strategy team oversees the implementation of the DCSO, which includes the Embedded Entrepreneurship Initiative (EEI). The EEI, through the DCSO, awards participants with funds to support the integration of an embedded entrepreneur (EE) to assist performers with commercialization and business development efforts.

Proposals submitted under this DCSO are solicited for transitioning and commercializing innovative solutions derived from DARPA-funded technologies into capabilities that meet operational requirements, close capability gaps, or deliver new technological advancements. DARPA anticipates receiving a range of proposals reflecting diverse technical, scientific, and business approaches.
