## Description

The mission of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is to identify and create the next generation of scientific discovery by pursuing high-risk, high-payoff research initiatives across a broad spectrum of science and engineering disciplines. Disruption Opportunity (DO) topics are issued to rapidly investigate new and nascent technologies with targeted and limited scope investments.

DOs enable DARPA to initiate a new investment in less than 120 calendar days from idea inception. To enable this approach, DSO will issue Disruption Opportunities via Presolicitation Notices. These Presolicitation Notices will target specific technical domains important to DSO’s mission to pursue innovative research that leads to a prototype demonstration. More information about DSO’s technical domains and research topics of interest may be found at http://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices/dso.
