## Description

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the area of robust quantum sensing. Proposed research should investigate approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, devices, or systems. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice. Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS) seeks to bring quantum sensors to Department of Defense (DoD) platforms.

While quantum sensors have demonstrated exceptional laboratory performance in several modalities, their performance degrades once the sensor is placed on platforms. RoQS seeks innovative physics approaches that mitigate this degradation. RoQS aims to develop and demonstrate quantum sensors that inherently resist performance degradation from platform interferers, with demonstration of the sensors on a government-provided platform.

RoQS aims to transition quantum sensors onto DoD platforms with associated Programs of Record (PoRs) fulfilling outstanding Requirements . RoQS also seeks to engage with platform makers within industry to identify DoD systems for quantum sensor integration and, ultimately, transition the sensors to those platforms.
