OpportunityTitle: Vanishing Programmable Resources (VAPR)
Description: Amendment 01: The purpose of this Amendment is to revise the proposal due date as highlighted in yellow in the attached conformed DARPA-BAA-13-23 document. Original Synopsis below. Sophisticated electronic microsystems can now be made at such low cost that they are increasingly pervasive throughout the battlefield and large numbers can be widely proliferated and used for applications such as distributed remote sensing and communications. However, it is nearly impossible to track and recover every device, resulting in unintended accumulation in the environment as well as subsequent unauthorized use. DARPA seeks innovative proposals to address this pervasive challenge by developing electronic systems capable of physically disappearing in a controlled, triggerable manner. The goal of the Vanishing Programmable Resources (VAPR) BAA is to develop and establish a basis set of materials, components, integration, and manufacturing capabilities to undergird this new class of electronics.See the full DARPA-BAA-13-23 document attached.
