DARPA will host future Quantum Computing - Applications Workshops to assess the commercial impact of utility-scale quantum computers and will follow with a Request for Information. The U.S. Army seeks sources to produce its government-developed Shank 2.0 payload, a training warhead, and a pre-packed anti-personnel warhead for small unmanned aerial system platforms while asking industry to improve the Technical Data Package. DARPA solicits proposals for the HUBBLE program to create an in-silico capability that maps protein-protein interactions at high throughput and identifies new diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center requests information on small uncrewed aerial system capabilities across hardware, software, communications, sensors, and kinetic options. These notices indicate early interest in quantum computing workshops, advanced munitions for sUAS, bio-informatics tools, and next-generation sUAS technologies.
