Fleetwood Industry Day

UPDATE: The purpose of Amendment 1 to DARPA-SN-26-49, the Special Notice announcing the Fleetwood Industry Day, is to publish the DRAFT Program Solicitation.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will host an in-person Industry Day with a virtual listening option in support of the DARPA Program Solicitation (PS) for Fleetwood on March 12, 2026. DARPA anticipates releasing the program solicitation prior to Industry Day. If released, the PS will be made available at https://sam.gov/.

The goals of the Industry Day are:

1) To introduce the science and technology community (industry, academia, and government) to the Fleetwood program vision and goals;
2) To facilitate interaction between researchers with capabilities and interests relevant to the Fleetwood program goals;
3) To collect questions during the event that DARPA may answer and make available in a Question and Answer document; and
4) To encourage and promote teaming arrangements among organizations that have the relevant expertise, research facilities, and capabilities to execute research and development aligned with the Fleetwood program goals.

The Industry Day will include overview presentations by government personnel and opportunities for team building among the participants. It is anticipated that Industry Day materials will be posted online to https://www.darpa.mil/research/programs/fleetwood.
