DARPA is seeking proposals for revolutionary energy storage systems that use a mechanical co-design framework to eliminate rigid, heavy components, aiming for major improvements in performance, safety, and thermal resilience. The program requires domestic sourcing of materials and manufacturing, with successful solutions to be evaluated on a government-provided platform. Proposals must focus on complete system design and cannot center solely on new chemistries or incremental improvements to individual components. The goal is to transition the resulting designs into both commercial production and government systems.

The program requires domestic sourcing of materials and manufacturing, and successful solutions will be evaluated on a government-provided platform. Proposals focused only on evolutionary improvements, exceptional claims without justification, isolated component upgrades, or new chemistries without addressing rigid materials are excluded. The goal is to transition the resulting designs into commercial and government production.

The program requires domestic sourcing of materials and manufacturing, with successful solutions to be evaluated on a government-provided platform. Proposals must focus on complete system design and are excluded if they only offer incremental improvements, focus solely on new chemistries, or fail to address the rigid materials challenge. The goal is to transition the resulting technologies to both commercial and government systems.
