Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) Office-wide Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office (MTO). This BAA seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not being addressed by ongoing MTO programs, focusing on high-risk, high-reward technologies in microsystems.
This includes areas such as quantum circuits, interconnect technologies, biological circuits, photonic circuits, and manufacturing ecosystems, relevant to advanced semiconductor design and AI applications.

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.
