DARPA-BAA-12-09: Strategic Technology Office (STO) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), Response Date 1/12/2013
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Strategic Technology Office (STO) is soliciting innovative proposals under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the performance of research, development, design, and testing that directly supports Strategic Technology Office (STO). This includes Finding Difficult Targets; Communications, Networks and Electronic Warfare; Shaping the Environment; and Foundational Technologies that support multiple STO focus areas.
DARPA-BAA-12-61: DARPA-BAA-12-61 ADAPTable Sensor Systems Phase 2, Response Date 11/30/2012
The ADAPTable Sensor Systems Phase 2 (ADAPT Phase 2) program seeks to accelerate the development time of sensor systems through the use of commercial processes. The goal of the program is to allow sophisticated sensor systems to be developed in one year or less. Today, military sensor system development programs focus on developing systems designed to meet a specific system need and "stovepipe" systems are designed from scratch. In contrast, commercial consumer electronics has experienced a revolution in development process in the past decade. Technology developers invest in "reference designs"1 that both demonstrate the technology performance and serve as a basis for consumer electronic products. System integrators incorporate these reference designs (or at least significant elements of the reference design) into their products. The existence of the reference design allows system integrators to develop products rapidly and refresh technology frequently. This methodology is enabled by the existence of a reference design.
DARPA-BAA-12-65: Laser Radar Technology, Response Date 3/21/2013
DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of laser and detector development in support of advanced laser radar systems. 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.
DARPA-BAA-12-46: Structural Logic Phase II, Response Date 12/10/2012
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Strategic Technology Office (STO) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of high performance structural systems. The fundamental objective of the Structural Logic Phase II program is to demonstrate the performance benefits of passively adaptive and simultaneously high stiffness and high damping structural systems in a high speed naval planning boat.
DARPA-BAA-12-26: Advanced RF Mapping (RadioMap) Program, Response Date 10/11/2012
DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of Radio Frequency (RF) situational awareness employing a heterogeneous sensor network, whose constituent devices include RF receiver/transmitters deployed for other purposes such as tactical radios, using an approach that facilitates extension of the network to incorporate additional device types and to support additional Electronic Warfare/Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (EW/ISR) applications.
