Description: Amendment 05: The purpose of this Amendment is to make administrative changes, as highlighted in yellow in the conformed BAA, and to revise the proposal closing date to 1 September 2012. See highlighted changes in the attached DARPA-BAA-10-35 document. Amendment 04: The purpose of this Amendment is to revise the Point of Contact for the BAA. See the attached revised DARPA-BAA-10-35 document with changes highlighted in yellow.Amendment 03: The purpose of this Amendment is to extend the BAA closing date and to make other miscellaneous changes as highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-10-35 document.Amendment 02: The purpose of this Amendment is to delete the current Proposal Summary Chart Template and replace with a revised Proposal Summary Chart Template, attached to the BAA. Amendment 02 also revises the Award Administration Information, Section 6, of the BAA as highlighted in yellow.Original Posting Below.The Microsystems Technology Office&#239;&#191;&#189;s (MTO) mission is to exploit breakthroughs in materials, devices, circuits, and mathematics to develop beyond leading edge Microsystems components with revolutionary performance and functionality to enable new platform capability for the Department of Defense. To execute this mission, MTO supports revolutionary research in electronics, photonics, MEMS, algorithms, and combined Microsystems technology to deliver new capabilities to sense, communicate, energize, actuate, and process data and information for the war fighter. MTO regularly publishes Broad Agency Announcements requesting responses to specific program topics. This announcement seeks revolutionary research ideas for topics not being addressed by ongoing MTO programs or other published BAA solicitations. ThisBAA is primarily, but not solely, intended for early stage research (Studies) that may lead to larger, focused, MTO programs in the future. Studies are defined as single phase efforts of short duration (&lt; 12 months) costing less than $1,000,000. Whereas proposers are strongly encouraged to submit Studies to this BAA, Multi-Phase Efforts will also be considered. Multi-Phase Efforts are efforts with more than one phase that may span longer than 12 months and that may cost more than $1,000,000. Multi-Phase Efforts must also cover discernable research topic areas that lead to clearly defined, quantitative technical metrics.See full DARPA-BAA-10-35 attached.
