Precision Inertial Navigation & Positioning On an Integrated Tesseract (PINPOINT)
DARPA - Defense Sciences Office · HR001126S0016 · Deadline: September 25, 2026
Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 12.910, Research and Technology Development), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.
133 unique recipients in the sample; 66 repeat winners.
range $3k – $84.6M
Draw-down reality (program)
Across 115 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 67% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
Listing summary
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in the following technical area: physics and nonlinear control of inertial measurement units (IMUs) appropriate for tactical and unmanned missions. The Precision Inertial Navigation & Positioning On an Integrated Tesseract (PINPOINT) program will challenge the research community to overcome the decade-long performance plateau of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) IMUs by exploring revolutionary sensor architectures that operate in highly nonlinear regimes. DARPA is soliciting proposals for the researc…
