Department of War organization. Structures Uniquely Resolved to Guarantee Endurance The DARPA Structures Uniquely Resolved to Guarantee Endurance (SURGE) program aims to rethink the current machine-focused paradigm of part qualification in additive manufacturing (AM). Today, we work to perfect the operation of individual AM machines to repeatably produce material with known properties.
This is accomplished through months or years of process optimization and material property testing at a cost that can easily surpass millions of dollars. SURGE will explore a new approach where the life of every unique part is predicted at the point of production based directly on data captured during manufacturing.
Shifting focus from qualifying the machine to assessing each individual part will unlock the full potential of AM for distributed production so that any geometry can be produced on any machine, anywhere in the world, at any time, while guaranteeing part life under anticipated service conditions.
If successful, SURGE will enable distributed AM for point-of-need production of critical parts and expand the potential defense industrial base in times of surge production demand.

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.
