On June 3, 2026, four DARPA Biological Technologies Office SBIR topics close simultaneously — SWiFT, BARK, EXPOSITION, and Medical Swarm Robotics. Combined Phase I plus Phase II potential exceeds $6 million per company, and together they sketch a coherent strategy of distributed, autonomous, dual-species combat casualty care that depends on small businesses, not primes, to actually build.

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.
Read articleDARPA pre-released Release 6 of its FY26 SBIR BAA on September 2, 2026. Five of the seven SBIR topics belong to the Biological Technologies Office, and four of those describe one continuous problem: keeping a casualty alive with no surgeon, no imaging, and no evacuation. Here are the award sizes, the Direct-to-Phase-II gates, and the sequencing DARPA is buying.
