The Defense Sciences Office at DARPA is offering a grant to support innovative research in manufacturing small Department of Defense composite parts at competitive costs to metal. This grant focuses on new composite material formats and reconfigurable forming processes to fabricate various part configurations under 20 pounds. Projects should aim for revolutionary advances rather than incremental improvements. See attached DARPA-BAA-15-64 for more information. Closing date for proposals is Nov 10, 2015.

| Description: | The Defense Sciences Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals that will allow the manufacturing of small (20 pounds or under) Department of Defense (DoD) composite parts at costs competitive to metal using a new composite material format and novel reconfigurable forming/molding process(es) that enable fabrication of multiple part configurations. 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.
