Atomically Precise Molecules (APM)
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-141
The Atomically Precise Molecules (APM) program, solicitation DARPA-PS-26-141, is a 36-month initiative by the DARPA Multi X Office seeking innovative synthesis techniques for programmable precision polymers (PPPs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The program aims to develop scalable materials with strictly controlled monomer sequences and compositions, culminating in a prototype NLO material integrated into a government-provided electro-optic modulator capable of achieving greater than 1THz modulation. The effort is structured in two phases, with Phase I lasting 12 months and focusing on synthesis capabilities. Research limited to inorganic materials or incremental improvements to existing state-of-the-art practices is specifically excluded. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements, with payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system based on a schedule of milestones. Proposals are due by December 18, 2026, via the Broad Agency Announcement Tool and must include technical, management, and pricing volumes. Eligibility is restricted to U.S. organizations, and all performers must comply with CMMC Level 2 self-certification and NIST SP 800-171 standards for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information. Evaluation will be based on technical approach, relevance to the DARPA mission, budget realism, and the capability to transition the technology to military or commercial sectors.

The U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Command and Control Information Network, in partnership with the Open Innovation Lab at Aberdeen Proving Ground, is hosting the CMFF Chassis Plug Fest from August 17 to 28, 2026, to evaluate Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and software aligned with the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare Modular Open Suite of Standards Mounted Form Factor. The event provides a hands-on laboratory environment for industry partners to demonstrate interoperability, standards compliance, and mission readiness of their CMFF-compliant chassis, Plug-In Cards, and software applications within the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control ecosystem. Participants will integrate their systems with existing Army platforms to validate seamless data flow across warfighting functions and assess support for emerging capabilities such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and resilient communications. All participants must be U.S. citizens with prior security vetting to access the facility, and only those who submit a Notice of Intent by July 1, 2026, will be considered. Submissions must include a two-page summary detailing how the proposed technology aligns with specific CMFF technical areas, such as PNT cards, SBCs, GPUs, SDRs, switch cards, SOSA-compliant power supplies, ruggedized displays, software applications, or cross-domain solutions. Selected teams will receive a Technical Data Package, test plans, and event logistics. The event aims to accelerate adoption of standardized, plug-and-play COTS solutions meeting SOSA, FACE, VICTORY, and MORA interface requirements. Participation is strictly for demonstration purposes, and no government funding or contractual obligations are implied or provided for efforts expended in response to this notice.

Description:


The U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Command and Control Information Network (CPE C2IN), in strategic partnership with the Open Innovation Lab (OIL) at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), is pleased to announce an upcoming CMFF Chassis Plug Fest.  This event is a collaborative technical demonstration focused on the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C5ISR) and Electronic Warfare (EW) Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) Mounted Form Factor (CMFF). It provides a unique laboratory environment for industry partners to validate the interoperability, standards-conformance, and mission-readiness of their CMFF-aligned hardware and software. 


Mission Purpose & Goals:


The primary focus of this event is to identify additional Commercial or Non-Developmental CMFF aligned chassis, cards, and software applications that could provide immediate benefit to the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) ecosystem. This CMFF Plug fest will allow CMFF aligned chassis, Plug-In Cards (PICs) and software applications an opportunity to integrate with the Army’s latest CMFF products, to advance the CMFF long term vision and ensure a robust, interoperable ecosystem for current and future payloads.
