DARPA’s STO is seeking innovative ideas and disruptive technologies that provide the U.S.
military and national security leaders with trusted, disruptive capabilities to win in all physical
domains (Air, Space, Sea, and Land) and across the spectrum of competition, from deterrence to
high-end peer combat. STO seeks to carry out DARPA’s mission of creating high-risk, highreward
“breakthrough” technologies with a focus on ambitious, difficult, and revolutionary
projects that achieve significant changes or fundamental shifts in technical capabilities and give
our warfighters new ways to fight. STO will develop and deliver solutions at a speed and scale to
be operationally relevant in a relatively short time, just a few years, from the initiation of the
project to proof of concept.
STO is a “systems office” seeking to create new “proof-of-concept” mission systems. Its goals
are to develop and demonstrate new capabilities that expand what is technically possible.
Multiple awards are anticipated
