Summary
The Future Program: Rads To Watts is a Special Notice issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to announce additional research areas of interest, specifically focusing on the development of technologies that convert nuclear radiation energy into electricity, particularly through radiation voltaics. The program aims to explore innovative approaches to enhance the performance and lifespan of radiovoltaics, enabling them to operate effectively under high radiation fluences. This opportunity is ideal for contractors and businesses with expertise in advanced materials, semiconductor technology, and energy conversion systems, particularly those capable of developing high-power, long-lived energy sources for applications in power-starved environments.
Description
The purpose of this Special Notice (SN) is to provide public notification of additional research areas of interest to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO), specifically for the contemplated forthcoming Rads to Watts program.
