AI Requirements Summary

DARPA seeks innovative foundational technology proposals for enabling high-rate, energy-efficient, decentralized nitric acid (HNO3) manufacturing to strengthen defense supply chain resilience and security. The focus is on developing manufacturing processes that can operate efficiently at distributed locations rather than centralized facilities.

Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the foundational technologies to enable high-rate, energy efficient, decentralized nitric acid manufacturing to protect critical supply chains in the defense industrial base and redefine energetics manufacturing in contested logistics environments. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
