- Description
- Since its inception in 1992, DARPA's Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) has helped create and prevent strategic surprise through investments in compact microelectronic components such as microprocessors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and photonic devices. MTO's revolutionary work applying advanced capabilities in areas such as wide-band gap materials, phased array radars, high-energy lasers and infrared imaging have helped the United States establish and maintain technological superiority for more than two decades. As MTO evolves to address future challenges in microsystems, the office has identified four target problem areas: (1) our critical reliance on the electromagnetic spectrum, (2) the decentralization of effects within the battlefield, (3) the impending end of Moore's law, and (4) embracing and thriving in the internationalized technology base. There is inherent overlap between these spaces which is rife with opportunity to explore solutions. Otherlab will study the four new flight concepts in a study phase, then build a prototype of the most successful concept (also known as "downselected"). Given the importance and utility of the state-of-the-art, which is still simple parachutes that haven't improved much in many years, there is considerable opportunity to be optimistic that one or more of the above platforms can radically transform or improve the state of the art in quickly making a more robust and longer endurance technology. A more specific description of the technical work can be found in the following section.
