The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Tactical Technology Office (TTO) has released an Office-Wide Solicitation (DARPA-PS-26-123) seeking revolutionary research proposals to develop new classes of platforms and weapons that provide decisive U.S. military advantages. The focus is on creating innovative, not evolutionary, advancements in areas including new naval and aerospace platforms, novel propulsion technologies, advanced autonomy, and advanced munitions. The acquisition strategy involves a required abstract submission, followed by an invitation-only full proposal submission. Proposals are evaluated primarily on Overall Scientific and Technical Merit and Potential Contribution to the DARPA Mission, with Cost Realism as a third criterion. Key requirements for proposers include compliance with export control laws (ITAR/EAR) and meeting Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Awards will be issued as Other Transaction (OT) agreements.
