The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of technologies that speed, parallelize and systematize energetics formulation development. Capabilities developed for explosive and propellant formulations are of primary interest, though development may also entail capabilities for other energetics including obscurants and pyrotechnics. Specifically, DARPA seeks to develop 1) safe, semi-automated experimental capabilities that integrate energetics ingredient synthesis with formulation development and testing and 2) theoretical, experimental, and/or statistical methods that enable safe, accurate evaluation of key energetics properties at reduced scale. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in energetics research capabilities
