Department of War organization. What is a Disruption Opportunity? Disruption Opportunities enable us to investigate the potential of high-risk science – and to do so quickly.
Awards are made no more than 120 days from the date of publication. These highly accelerated programs are a prime example of our broad commitment to pursuing high-risk, high-payoff research in support of national security and technological surprise. Managed by our Defense Sciences Office (DSO), Disruption Opportunities are targeted and limited-scope investments.
Most of these projects are focused on small, high-risk efforts important to DSO’s mission. Published: March 13, 2026 Amendment 1 | Summary changes | FAQs --> Accelerating Prototypes and Demonstrations When addressing scientific and national security challenges, new and nascent technologies often hold the key to delivering field-ready solutions.
Faced with urgent needs, we cannot spend years – or even months – working to capitalize on advancements in science and technology. To facilitate the rapid development cycle we demand, performers need equally rapid funding. That’s where disruptioneering comes in.
Disruptioneering is the process we use to validate an emerging technology before making a larger investment in prototyping. Published: Sept. 30, 2025

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.
