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.

DPA26BZ06-DV023 is a Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR paying $700,000 over 18 months plus a $500,000 option. The physics demands 256x more transmit power than the systems that qualify you to compete, and DARPA will not accept modeling alone as proof. Here is the eligibility wall, the five engineering problems, and who can realistically win it before the October 21 close.
Read articleRelease 6's SBIR topics got the attention. Its three STTR topics — SHIELDER, fuel-flexible electric propulsion, and hypersonic wind tunnel noise diagnostics — are all Direct-to-Phase-II, all require a research institution to perform at least 30 percent of the work, and all close October 21, 2026. The feasibility gates are the real filter.
Read articleDPA26BZ06-DV026 offers $300,000 at Phase I or $1,800,000 as a single Direct-to-Phase-II tranche with no options. The deliverable is a simulated auction market that measures whether AI agents deceive, collude, or manipulate the humans they serve — measured entirely from the outside. Here is the 90% efficiency gate, the team composition most bidders will get wrong, and why this topic sits in DARPA's biology office.
