Resilient
Solicitation # DARPA-PA-25-07-04
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office is soliciting innovative basic or applied research through the Resilient Disruption Opportunity (DARPA-PA-25-07-04). The program aims to develop a new methodology for accelerated materials testing and prediction for concrete, utilizing physics-informed scalability models and transportable material accelerators to predict macro-scale structural lifetimes in weeks rather than decades. The objective is to move beyond traditional laboratory proxies and identify specific rate-limiting kinetic equations, such as modified Arrhenius or Nernst-Planck, rather than relying on generic machine learning or existing ASTM tests. Awards will be issued as Other Transaction for Prototype Agreements with a total potential value of $2,000,000, split equally between a 12-month base Phase 1 and a 12-month option Phase 2. Performance is measured by strict metrics, including material acceleration factors of over 100x in Phase 1 and 1,000x in Phase 2, with predictive accuracy for time to failure within 10 to 25 percent of real-world data. The program involves 13 fixed payable milestones, with payments processed through the Wide Area Workflow system. Proposers must submit a technical proposal and a price proposal via the DARPA BAA Portal. Key requirements include a mandatory abstract, a data and sourcing narrative, and a signed data sharing agreement. Prime proposers must maintain current Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) status in the Supplier Performance Risk System. Additionally, any proposals involving University Affiliated Research Centers must include an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan.
