AI Contract Overview
The Precision Inertial Navigation & Positioning On an Integrated Tesseract (PINPOINT) program, solicited by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under solicitation HR001126S0016, seeks 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, demanding revolutionary scientific and systemic breakthroughs. The effort 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 demonstrations by month three, and the delivery of five final hardware IMU samples and a process design kit by month 24. DARPA will evaluate proposals based on overall scientific and technical merit, relevance to the national security technology base, cost and schedule realism, and the proposer's capabilities. Awards may be issued as procurement contracts, cooperative agreements, or Other Transaction (OT) Agreements. Proposers must comply with CMMC Level 1 requirements and use the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system for invoicing. The proposal deadline is October 2, 2026.
