The Defense Sciences Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals that will allow the manufacturing of small (20 pounds or under) Department of Defense (DoD) composite parts at costs competitive to metal using a new composite material format
and novel reconfigurable forming/molding process(es) that enable fabrication of multiple part configurations.
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.
