§01 · Why it matters
What this agency is about, in one paragraph.
DARPA's BAA + SBIR cadence is well-known but the actual award profile favours teams that have engaged the program manager pre-BAA. Capture intelligence matters disproportionately here.
§02 · Programs to watch
Programs Bridger tracks closely for DARPA.
I2O / DSO / MTO programs
Information, defence sciences, and microsystems offices — the highest-frequency BAA flow.
