Perrseus
Solicitation # DARPA-PS-26-127
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Multi X Office is soliciting innovative proposals under solicitation DARPA-PS-26-127, titled Perrseus, to develop microscale ultra-high-vacuum systems (uUHV). The program aims to enable compact cold-atom devices and environmentally-decoupled ultra-high Q microelectromechanical (MEMS) and photonics devices, specifically targeting manufacturable vacuum packages with pressures below 10^-10 mbar. The effort is structured as an Other Transaction for Prototype Agreement under 10 U.S.C. 4022, with an estimated period of performance of 42 months starting January 15, 2027. This includes a three-month Phase 0 for security set-up followed by technical development phases. Proposals are evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, potential contribution to the DARPA mission, and budget, price, and schedule. Key requirements include CMMC Level 2 self-assessment and strict adherence to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling guidelines. The program emphasizes low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) and high-volume manufacturability. Awardees must deliver ten functional prototypes and undergo in-person government validation of vacuum metrics. The submission process requires a technical and management volume, a detailed price volume, and an oral presentation, with a final proposal deadline of September 23, 2026.

Precision Inertial Navigation & Positioning On an Integrated Tesseract (PINPOINT)
Solicitation # HR001126S0016
The Precision Inertial Navigation & Positioning On an Integrated Tesseract (PINPOINT) program, solicitation HR001126S0016, is a DARPA initiative seeking revolutionary advances in inertial measurement units (IMUs) for tactical and unmanned missions. The program aims to overcome the performance plateau of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) by developing novel sensor architectures that operate in highly nonlinear regimes, such as electromagnetically levitated proof masses, non-linear resonators, and high-velocity tethered microsystems. A critical requirement is the tight co-design of the physical sensor package with real-time adaptive control systems to stabilize complex dynamics. The program explicitly excludes evolutionary improvements, focusing instead on revolutionary scientific and systemic breakthroughs. The solicitation allows for multiple award instruments, including procurement contracts, cooperative agreements, and Other Transaction (OT) Agreements. The project is structured in two 24-month phases, with Phase I focusing on mathematical rigor, simulation, and laboratory testing, and Phase II focusing on packaging and environmental ruggedization. Key milestones include a program kick-off in month one, preliminary model reporting by month three, and the delivery of five final hardware IMU samples and a process design kit by month 24. Proposals are evaluated based on overall scientific and technical merit, relevance to the DARPA mission, cost and schedule realism, and the proposer's capabilities. Compliance requirements include CMMC Level 1 and adherence to FAR 52.204-21 for safeguarding contractor information systems. The proposal deadline is October 2, 2026.
