Some key points about this opportunity include:
• The program is open to all responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government's needs.
• Proposers must submit an abstract that will be evaluated by DARPA.
• The abstract should include a technical description of the proposer's idea, a scientific analysis of the proposed idea, and an estimated cost and schedule.
• Selected proposers will be invited to submit an oral proposal package and participate in an oral presentation.
• The award will be in the form of a Research Other Transaction (OT) agreement.
• The maximum total award value is anticipated to be $300,000 in Government funding.
