Description
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is sponsoring a Proposers Day webcast to provide information to potential proposers on the objectives of an anticipated Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Multi Modal Materials Analysis (MMoMA) program. The MMoMA program will explore innovative methods to combine a single excitation source of continuously variable intensity with multiple detection methods and in-situ data fusion for assessing features such as a sample's composition, origin, production method, processing location, and/or other signatures of interest. The goals of the MMoMA Proposers Day are to introduce the research community to the MMoMA program vision and goals, explain the mechanics of a DARPA program, and encourage teaming arrangements among potential organizations.
• The MMoMA program aims to swiftly extract the maximum possible amount of information from a single sample of any composition under ambient conditions, while requiring zero sample preparation.
• The program will determine the power of this approach and lay the foundation for future field deployable capabilities.
• Teaming is optional, but DARPA highly encourages any teaming before proposal submission and can help facilitate team formation with the necessary expertise.
• The Proposers Day will be held virtually on June 23, 2026, and advance registration is required for participation in the webcast.
