Challenges
Lift Challenge: Aims to shatter the heavy lift bottleneck, seeking novel drone designs that can carry payloads more than four times their weight, which would revolutionize the way we use drones across all sectors. | See images
Triage Challenge: Seeks to transform how medical responders triage in mass casualty incidents by advancing scalable, timely, and accurate tools. | See images
Programs
AIR: Developing dominant tactical autonomy for multi-ship, beyond visual range air combat missions. | See images
ALIAS: Uncrewed helicopters using ALIAS-developed autonomy drop thousands of gallons of water to help extinguish wildfire. | See images
AtmoSense: Seeks to understand the propagation of mechanical and electromagnetic energy from the surface of the Earth through the Earth's ionosphere due to transient events such as meteorological sources, geophysical sources, prompt hazards, etc. | See images
DRBE: Aims to create the world’s first, large-scale, virtual radio frequency (RF) environment for developing, training, and testing advanced RF systems. | See images
F-47: The Air Force’s sixth generation fighter. | See images
FSHARP: Develops a deployable, shelf-stable, universal whole blood substitute as a hemorrhage countermeasure to sustain injured warfighters in austere, pre-hospital settings. | See images
GO: Seeks to harness the power of light to direct the synthesis of DNA and RNA directly within living cells. | See images
MASH: Aims to develop robotic systems to autonomously find and stop life-threatening bleeding inside the body, giving injured warfighters a much better chance of survival in combat situations. | See images
NOMARS: The kind of experimentation that could define a future hybrid maritime fleet, a manned-unmanned team with the ability to adapt and scale. | See images
Pulling Guard: Develops and demonstrates a semi-autonomous platform that enhances survivability of unarmed logistics vessels from potential threats, primarily uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs). | See images
Rads to Watts: Explores new approaches for directly converting nuclear radiation energy into electricity, with a distinct focus on radiation voltaics (also known as radiovoltaics). | See images
Smart-RBC: Aims to revolutionize how we support warfighter performance in extreme and dangerous environments. | See images
