DARPA (DSO): DO Liquid Surge

The Liquid Surge program seeks to advance scientific understanding, predictive modeling, and metrology of transient wave phenomena in liquid environments under challenging conditions.

Proposers should address the following two thrusts in the same proposal, due to their highly coupled nature:

(a) Experimental Diagnostics and Validation

(b) Physics-Based Predictive Modeling & Transient Fluid Behavior

Phase 1 Feasibility Study (base)

Phase 2 Proof of Concept (option).

Funding: Phase 1 $550,000; Phase 2 $450,000

Duration:  9 months + 9 months 

Research Authority due date: 27.10.26

Abstract (required) due date: 3.11.26

Oral Proposal Package due date: 14.12.26
