Office-wide BAA: Information Processing Techniques Office (I2O) is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO). This office-wide BAA invites researchers, companies, universities, and innovators to submit ideas for breakthrough technologies that fall outside the scope of current DARPA programs.
It aims to identify revolutionary concepts capable of creating decisive information and computational advantages for the United States and its allies. Research priorities include artificial intelligence innovation and execution, inherent security and privacy, and resilient megasystems. DARPA emphasizes seeking unconventional approaches that challenge accepted assumptions and have the potential to fundamentally alter existing practices.

DPA26BZ05-DV019 asks small businesses to reduce ISR video transmission from small drones by 90 to 99 percent while preserving what an operator actually needs, on a Jetson-class board at a 2-watt final power budget. It is Direct-to-Phase-II, up to $1.5 million base plus a $500,000 option, and its exclusion list — no weapon release, no lethal engagement, no named-person identification — is the most strategically revealing paragraph in DARPA's FY26 Release 5.
Read articleDPA26BZ05-DV018 is the largest award in DARPA's FY26 SBIR Release 5 — up to $3 million over 18 months, Direct-to-Phase-II only. It funds four subsystem tracks for an underwater 3D concrete printer that uses seafloor sediment and seawater with under 20 percent binder. Here is what the Trenton program already proved, why the track structure is really a supplier-qualification exercise, and who can clear the prior-feasibility bar in the four weeks that remain.
Read articleTwo weeks after the DARPA Lift Challenge ended with the winner at 3.84:1 — short of the 4:1 target — DARPA posted a Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR that requires empirical proof of a 4:1 payload-to-weight ratio to bid. DPA26BZ05-DV022 offers up to $1.5 million over 24 months across two tracks that map exactly onto the Challenge's two design prizes. Here is who can actually clear the entry bar, what the month-9, month-18, and month-24 gates demand, and why the certification language is the real story.
