AFRL/AFOSR-Taiwan NSTC Frontiers in Materials and Nanostructures: AI-Driven Discovery, Quantum Geometry, and Energy-Efficient Information Technologies 2027-2030
Solicitation # FA955027S0002
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research and Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council are soliciting joint research proposals for a three-year program titled Frontiers in Materials and Nanostructures: AI-Driven Discovery, Quantum Geometry, and Energy-Efficient Information Technologies. Running approximately from October 2027 to October 2030, this international initiative focuses on basic scientific research to accelerate the discovery of solid-state materials and nanostructures through AI and physics-based modeling, as well as developing low-power materials for electronic, photonic, and quantum information technologies. The program requires collaborative teams consisting of one investigator from a US institution or DoD Lab and one from a Taiwan institution. Funding for selected US Principal Investigators is capped at 150,000 dollars per year, with a total program funding pool of 3.6 million dollars over three years for all selected US projects. The application process is a two-phase competition requiring a joint pre-proposal white paper due by November 18, followed by full proposals for selected teams due by February 19, 2027. All submissions must be made via Grants.gov using the SF 424 Research and Related form family. Evaluation is based on technical merit, potential for breakthrough results, alignment with Department of the Air Force missions, and the quality of the US-Taiwan scientific interaction. Awardees must adhere to strict security and administrative requirements, including mandatory Research Security Training for all covered individuals and registration in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code. Proposals are subject to a risk-based Fundamental Research Security Review to identify potential foreign influence. While most awards are expected to involve fundamental research, any project involving Controlled Unclassified Information will be subject to specific Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification requirements. Payments are processed electronically through the Wide Area Workflow application within the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment.

STATE OF THE ART (SOTA) MICROELECTRONICS (ME) ADOPTION BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) FULL TEXT GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Solicitation # 26S1358
The U.S. Department of the Air Force, through SAF/AQC, is issuing a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) numbered 26-S-1358 to advance the adoption of state-of-the-art microelectronics across national security missions. This BAA does not solicit proposals directly but serves as an umbrella framework for future Topic Calls published on SAM.gov and the Classified IC-ARC, which will define specific technical requirements, submission deadlines, and evaluation criteria. The initiative focuses on accelerating the development and integration of trusted, assured microelectronics technologies, particularly those leveraging Intel 18A process nodes and advanced packaging via Secure Enclave, to ensure enduring technological superiority. Five key mission areas are highlighted: advanced secure microelectronics design and production; next-generation assembly, packaging, and test; novel microelectronics for disruptive capabilities; advanced test, validation, and mission qualification; and building an accessible, affordable, and sustainable domestic microelectronics ecosystem. Topics range from AI/ML architectures and radiation-hardened designs to chiplet-based systems, secure test methodologies, edge computing, RF electronics, PNT resilience, digital twins, and open-standard chiplet libraries. Proposals or White Papers may only be submitted in response to individual Topic Calls, which may be either closed (with fixed deadlines) or open (accepting submissions continuously during a defined window), and may follow one-step or two-step processes. Awards, if made, will take the form of procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) for prototyping, follow-on production, or experimental purposes, with eligibility open to small businesses, traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, and research institutions. OTA awards require resource-sharing commitments and participation by nontraditional contractors, small businesses, or third-party funding. Proposals must not include classified information unless explicitly directed by a classified Topic Call, which may require SECRET or higher clearances and approved secure facilities. Data rights are anticipated to include Government Purpose Rights for technical data and software, with specific terms negotiated per call. All submissions must reference the BAA number 26-S-1358 and be aligned with the specified Areas of Interest in each Topic Call. Interested parties must actively monitor SAM.gov and IC-ARC for updates, as Topic Calls may be issued throughout the BAA’s open period—initially one year, extendable annually—and any associated costs for proposal development are considered indirect, not chargeable to resulting contracts.

ERIS Shopping Notice: High Duty Cycle High Energy Lasers (HEL) for SWaP-Constrained Systems
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-82
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Strategic Technologies Office is issuing Shopping Notice DARPA-SN-26-82 to identify innovative, awardable solutions for moderate power high-energy lasers ranging from 100W to 20kW. These systems must be designed for size, weight, and power constrained platforms, such as Collaborative Combat Aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and armored personnel carriers. The primary technical objective is to maximize duty cycle to enable successive firing over long durations, which requires novel engineering designs and system architectures that overcome significant cooling and heat exhaust challenges while maintaining beam coherence and wavelength flexibility. Active from June 4, 2026, to November 30, 2026, this search utilizes the Expedited Research Innovation System marketplace for rolling reviews, meaning awards may be made prior to the closing date. Interested parties must submit a video solution through the DARPAConnect ERIS Portal and provide a follow-up notification email to the Marketplace Coordinator. Evaluations will focus on the proposer's understanding of the current state of the art, the technical leap offered by the innovation, the combined expertise of the team, and the potential impact on both defense and commercial applications.
