What does it take to solve the most urgent national security challenges? At DARPA, it starts with questioning past assumptions. 🎙️
Learn why MXO and IPTO leadership are reshaping their offices to tackle massive-scale problems in our latest podcast episode.
With AI Forge, we’re calling on universities to bring their boldest thinking and most original ideas to solve AI research challenges for national security.
To start, universities interested in submitting their capabilities can do so through the AI Forge RFI.
Join us in Dayton, Ohio, for the DARPA Lift Challenge from Aug. 6-9, 2026, to witness aviation history in the making as top innovators push the boundaries of drone tech.

Blood refrigeration limits trauma care. We’re changing that. 🩸
Building on FSHARP, DARPA’s RAPIID program is scaling synthetic blood for FDA approval.
The goal: A safe, shelf-stable blood analog in every medic's pack, ready to save lives & bypass shortages.
DARPA’s I2O is returning to IPTO, honoring its legacy of catalyzing the infrastructure of the modern digital world.
MTO evolves into the Multi X Office (MXO), expanding its remit beyond traditional microsystems and individual components into integrated capabilities.
Slated for summer 2026, DARPA’s RSGS program and its Mission Robotic Vehicle will bring robotic servicing to satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
In collaboration with @USNRL, @NASA, and SpaceLogistics, we're building a sustainable, upgradable, and resilient infrastructure. 🛰️
This Request for Information (RFI) is a preliminary step to assess current capabilities to conduct realistic MASCAL simulations involving greater than 50, 100, or 200 simulated patients within a single event lasting less than 72 hours.
