Closes
Aug 20, 2026
DARPA's Multi X Office seeks information on first-principles algorithms designed to execute on photonic integrated circuits (PICs).

ERIS Shopping Notice - Thermal Management RFP
Open
Jul 31, 2026
Closes
Oct 1, 2026
DARPA's Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is actively shopping the ERIS Marketplace for game-changing, foundational thermal-management mechanisms rather than modular, integrated cooling packages. The effort targets technologies that can disrupt legacy thermodynamic limits across Department of Defense application spaces, including hypersonic vehicles and directed-energy weapons. Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis under DARPA-PS-25-05, and the active Special Notice closes September 30, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. EDT; it is a contract opportunity rather than a grant.
