Grant Description: The Tactical Technology Office (TTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting executive summaries, white papers and proposals for advanced research and development of Innovative Systems for Military Missions. Innovative Systems are integrated systems or critical systems components, which often incorporate emerging advanced technologies, and which enable revolutionary improvements to the capability, efficiency and effectiveness of the military. TTO seeks responses relating to three (3) mission thrust areas ("mission thrusts"): * Advanced Weapons Systems * Advanced Platforms * Advanced Space Systems Responses to the thrust areas may be submitted at any time during the open period of this solicitation. TTO's solicitation focuses on the high risk/high payoff development, integration, demonstration and evaluation of innovative systems or critical systems components enabled by, and incorporating, new or emerging technologies. Proposed efforts must also show significant promise to provide the U.S. military with revolutionary new mission capabilities, and/or enable significant increases in mission effectiveness. Innovative system concepts of interest to TTO typically address emerging technical opportunities, advanced systems concepts, emergent threats, and/or new technology-enabled concepts of operation. TTO strongly encourages respondents to adopt a complete systems engineering approach to the problems. This BAA solicits executive summaries, white papers and proposals for proposed efforts. Proposers are strongly encouraged to initially submit a one page executive summary describing the technology area and new ideas of interest prior to submitting a white paper or proposal. Executive summaries will be reviewed as they are received. Based on a favorable review of an Executive Summary, proposers will be encouraged to submit a six page white paper describing the proposer's proposed concept prior to submitting a proposal. A DARPA Program Manager may contact you to further discuss the idea in your executive summary or white paper. This procedure is intended to minimize unnecessary effort in proposal preparation and review. Submission of an executive summary and/or white paper is not required prior to submitting a full proposal. Proposers are encouraged to review and monitor TTO's public website at http://www.darpa.mil/TTO in order to better understand past and recent TTO mission systems development efforts. The executive summaries and white papers are an opportunity for the proposers to receive feedback regarding the relevance of their idea to the TTO mission and to have DARPA personnel review their proposed technical concept.
