BEAMERS Industry Day Announcement

DARPA’s Strategic Technology Office is hosting an in‑person Industry Day on 30 September 2026 in Arlington, VA to present the BEAMERS (Beam‑Space Analog Processing for Multifunctional Enhanced RF Systems) program. The event is split into a classified (SECRET) government presentation and a Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) poster showcase. Attendance is limited to the first 120 registrants (max three per firm) and requires advanced registration, clearance verification via DISS, and completion of a Form 60 for foreign nationals. The purpose is to share program objectives, discuss technical challenges, and enable networking/teaming among potential prime and non‑traditional technology providers. No formal solicitation or funding is attached to the event; it serves as an information‑exchange forum. • Date & location: 30 Sep 2026, Strategic Analysis, Inc.
