Notice ID: DARPA-EA-25-02
The Advanced Research Concepts (ARC) program will rapidly solicit and explore a high volume of promising new ideas for limited-scope investments. Projects will focus on answering high-risk/high-reward questions to assess the impact of further investment by the Department of Defense.
Defense Sciences Office (DSO) will issue ARC Opportunities via targeted solicitations issued under this Exploration Announcement (EA), DARPA-EA-25-02. Each ARC Opportunity will concentrate on a specific question across disciplines represented in all DARPA technical offices, focusing on high-impact exploratory efforts to identify breakthrough technologies. More information about DSO’s technical domains and research topics of interest may be found at http://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices. Additional ARC Opportunity details: Proposals submitted under an ARC Opportunity will consist of a short (five (5) pages) Abstract consisting of a technical description of the proposer’s idea in response to the question posed in the ARC Opportunity. ARC Opportunities will remain open for Abstract submissions for a period of up to six (6) months, with rolling submissions and evaluations (see Section 3.4 of this EA for additional details). Each ARC Opportunity released under this Master Solicitation will outline the submission period.
