DARPA's Defense Sciences Office and Biological Technologies Office pre-released four SBIR XL topics on June 3 with proposals open June 24 and due July 22. Read the four as a single coordinated bet on the deployed soldier — sensing, recovery, power, and pathogen defense — and the strategy for filing across the quartet becomes clear.
Read articleDARPA's Defense Sciences Office pre-released two FY26 SBIR topics on July 1, 2026: FALCON (fusing efficient ML with large language models for interactive analysis of massive data) and Art of Novel Signals (temporal knowledge-graph forecasting from multilingual, multimodal data). Both opened July 22 and close August 19. Here is what each topic wants, how DARPA SBIR economics work, and the strategy to compete in a four-week window.
Read articleThe DSO DPA26BZ03 drop pairs a wearable closed-loop sleep system and a host-pathogen interactome predictor with a brutal Rydberg-sensor manufacturing topic and air-independent high-density batteries. All four open June 24 and close July 22, 2026. Here is what each topic is really asking for, and which small businesses are positioned to win.
