This grant from DARPA’s Defense Sciences Office (DSO) aims to foster revolutionary scientific discovery, developing disruptive technologies crucial for U.S. national security. DSO seeks high-risk, high-payoff basic or applied research, and analysis proposals. Proposers must address key technical thrust areas: Frontiers in Math, Computation and Design; Limits of Sensing and Sensors; Complex Social Systems; and Anticipating Surprise. This opportunity emphasizes groundbreaking innovation that enables revolutionary advancements, not evolutionary improvements. It’s for researchers ready to push science and engineering boundaries to address complex national defense challenges.

| Description: | The mission of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is to identify and create the next generation of scientific discovery by pursuing high-risk, high-payoff research initiatives across a broad spectrum of science and engineering disciplines and transforming these initiatives into disruptive technologies for U.S. national security. In support of this mission, the DSO Office-wide BAA invites proposers to submit innovative basic or applied research concepts or studies and analysis proposals that address one or more of the following technical thrust areas: (1) Frontiers in Math, Computation and Design, (2) Limits of Sensing and Sensors, (3) Complex Social Systems, and (4) Anticipating Surprise. Each of these thrust areas is described below and includes a list of example research topics that highlight several (but not all) potential areas of interest. Proposals must investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances. DSO is explicitly not interested in approaches or technologies that primarily result in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. |
