Department of War organization. Biological Technologies Office The Biological Technologies Office (BTO) leverages biological properties and processes to revolutionize our ability to protect the nation’s warfighters. BTO harnesses advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to create new opportunities for transformative science across the biological spectrum.
Warfighter health and well-being are critical to mission success. BTO develops diagnostic and assessment systems to identify chemical and biological threats, medical countermeasures, and novel approaches to tactical care and warfighter performance and recovery on and off the battlefield.
BTO also leverages biological processes, technologies, and manufacturing opportunities to create resilient infrastructures and supply chains, protective solutions, and innovative sensors to ensure mission success in any location.
We develop foundational technologies to simulate and predict biological systems and outcomes (simulation, foundation models, data generation): Generate: Vastly improving the quality and quantity of biological data while reducing costs; increasing speed and automation of cloud labs. Understand: Exploring the state of the art and enlisting stakeholders to construct necessary research portfolio.
Simulate: Enabling sequence to function and function to sequence that underpins whole cell modeling and cell-cell interactions. We explore solutions for warfighter readiness, health, and recovery, including medical countermeasures, diagnostics, health IT, and medical devices: Optimize: Ensuring peak warfighter performance, both physical and cognitive, throughout all phases of a mission.
Prevent: Protecting warfighters from any threat and advancing capabilities on the battlefield for immediate injury treatment. Restore: Creating biotechnological approaches to provide tactical care and restore function to injured warfighters.
We develop solutions to support mission success, including, for example, fibers for garments and distributed forward manufacturing: Do: Creating solutions that increase operational resilience and logistic security. Make: Utilizing the advantages of biology to enable point-of-need production or strengthen existing supply chain for critical commodities.
Strengthen: Providing technologies that harden operations against disruption and expand capabilities in the field. Innovation in Biotechnology RSS feed for Opportunities Transforming battlefield casualty care: Critical steps of tactical combat casualty care that bridge the gap between injury on the battlefield and arrival at surgical care.

The 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.
Read articleMTO opened six SBIR topics on May 27 with a single June 24 close: nanopore proteomics, compact wideband tunable RF filters, 800°C-rated integrated circuits, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing for legacy hardware reuse. Together they map the office's bet on where U.S. semiconductor advantage gets reasserted — and which small businesses get to ride along.
Read articleDARPA'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.
