The DARPA Tactical Technology Office (TTO) Office-Wide Broad Agency Announcement (HR001125S0011) solicits revolutionary research ideas for advanced military systems including autonomous platforms, AI-enabled weapons systems, unmanned aerial and ground vehicles, advanced munitions, and tactical robotics.
TTO's mission focuses on rapid development and demonstration of system-level military capabilities that can be transitioned to the warfighter. The BAA uses a two-step process: researchers first submit Executive Summaries by April 17, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET, and DARPA responds with either encouragement or discouragement for submitting full proposals.
This is distinct from DARPA's DSO BAA (basic research) and I2O BAA (information technology); TTO specifically funds tactical systems integration, autonomous platform prototyping, and operational capability demonstrations. Areas of interest span autonomous swarms, AI-enabled battle management, human-machine teaming for tactical operations, advanced sensors and seekers, and rapid prototyping of unmanned systems.

Projects can address fundamental computing challenges, novel AI architectures, scalable intelligent systems, and next-generation network infrastructure.
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.

Its 2026 exploratory grants went to thirteen named institutions with no open call. For organizations outside that list, the path in runs through a specific set of moves — and the five-year term starting in 2027 is the window.
