Request for Information (RFI) on Biologically-Derived Materials for Transient Propulsion Systems

unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). IARPA is interested in understanding how controlled material degradation can be extended beyond structural components to include turbines, engines, motors, and associated propulsion elements. Of particular interest are approaches that move beyond?ultraviolet (UV)-ini

tiated?or?water (H2O)-initiated?transience mechanisms and subsequently enable?more diverse triggering modalities that are stable in a range of environmental conditions. This RFI is issued for planning purposes only and does not constitute a
