(February 13, 2024) The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Small Business Programs Office (SBPO) is sponsoring an Information Session webcast to provide information to potential proposers on the objectives of the anticipated Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Opportunity (SBO) in the technical domains of Information System Technology and Sensors. DARPA anticipates that successful proposals to this SBO will develop an atom-based quantum testbed to enable the accelerated evaluation of nanophotonic, optoelectronic, and electronic components and sub-systems required for atom-based integrated and chip-scale quantum sensing, computing, and communications technologies.
The Information Session for the Optical-Atomic System Integration and Calibration (OASIC) STTR Opportunity will be held via webcast on February 16, 2024, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). The goals of the OASIC STTR Information Session are to: (1) introduce the research community (industry, academia, and Government) to the OASIC STTR vision and goals; (2) explain the mechanics of a DARPA STTR; and (3) the potential milestones of this effort if a Phase II is realized. DARPA anticipates releasing the OASIC STTR in February 2024. If released, the STTR will be issued under the Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for SBIR/STTR, and will be available on https://sam.gov/. Following the Information Session, DARPA may post the presented materials and the list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to the DARPA/SBPO Opportunities website.
