About this opportunity

BACKGROUND DARPA is seeking engagement from industrial producers of raw materials including cast, rolled, and forged metals, bulk ceramics, and composites to aid in developing a future program. This RFI is meant to provide the reasoning behind our need for engagement and to present the potential value proposition. Included is a simple survey to gather information on willingness to participate in a future effort. DARPA is considering a program to bring together performer teams composed of the best material scientists, process engineers, and data scientists to revolutionize industrial scale materials processing. Currently, process uncertainty forces system designers to rely on minimum expected property values (e.g., Metallic Materials Properties Development and Standardization (MMPDS)) to gu...
