DARPA 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.
Read articleDARPA BTO pre-released four FY26 SBIR/STTR topics on April 30, 2026, with proposals due June 3. Two topics — SWiFT and EXPOSITION — offer Direct-to-Phase-II awards up to $1.5M, bypassing the standard Phase I gate. Here is what each topic is actually solving, why the DP2 structure matters, and how small biotech, surgical robotics, and battlefield-medicine teams should decide whether to compete.
Read articleOn 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.
