OpportunityTitle: Panoptic Analysis of Chemical Traces (PACT)
Description: The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency&#146;s (DARPA) Strategic Technology Office (STO) is soliciting proposals under this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Panoptic Analysis of Chemical Traces (PACT) program. The PACT program will develop technology capable of analyzing complex gas mixtures without reliance on preconceived libraries of anticipated analytes. PACT will provide automated, high-throughput analysis of atmospheric sampling efforts aimed at producing exhaustive chemical maps of urban and military environments.DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of high-throughput chemical analysis of trace gases. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice is specifically excluded.DARPA-BAA08-62, entitled Panoptic Analysis of Chemical Traces (PACT), is provided as an attachment to this solicitation notice and includes information on the specific areas of interest, the submission process, proposal formats, as well as all other pertinent administrative and contractual information.Administrative, technical, or contractual questions should be sent via email to DARPA-BAA-08-62@darpa.mil. All requests must include the name, address, and phone number of a point of contact.
