The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) anticipates funding multiple proposals on a rolling basis under this solicitation. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems.
The Multi X Office (MXO) at DARPA regularly publishes solicitations requesting responses to specific program topics. This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not addressed by ongoing MXO programs or other published DARPA solicitations.
The solicitation covers three technical thrusts: Thrust 1 - Materials and components to expand the foundation, seeking to establish new technological beyond-CMOS foundations; Thrust 2 - Tools and processes for indigenous development, aiming to strengthen industrial resilience by advancing new tools, processes, and capabilities; and Thrust 3 - New modalities to achieve mission effects, seeking to expand the range of technological modalities available to deliver mission effects. Efforts that include human or animal subjects research are out of scope.

One prequalification covers both — on this bid and the next.
A surety’s written statement that it expects to bond you up to a stated amount, subject to final underwriting. It’s what an agency asks to see before they take your bid seriously.
