MTO 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 MTO opened six FY26 SBIR topics on May 27 with a June 24 deadline — nanopore proteomics, compact RF filters, 800°C ICs, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing. The topics read like a wishlist for the next decade of contested-environment microelectronics. Here is what each one is actually asking for, and how small businesses should triage the four-week window.
