Amendment 03: The purpose of this amendment is to extend the full proposal due date and to post the FAQ. The FAQ is being posted to Grants.gov due to issues with the DARPA website. See the changes highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-11-11. Amendment 02: The purpose of this amendment is to make administrative changes as highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-11-11 document. Amendment 01: The purpose of this amendment is to provide clarification language regarding the submission of proposal abstracts. See the changes highlighted in yellow in the attached revised DARPA-BAA-11-11. Original Synopsis Below.DARPA is soliciting innovative research proposals in the area of Advanced X-ray Integrated Sources (AXiS) that are compact, energy-tunable, spectrally narrow with small divergence. TheAXiS program will develop x-ray source technology that will enable phase contrast imaging of low atomic number (low-Z) materials. The program is planned to have a duration of four (4)years. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science, engineering, x-ray source components, and integrated sources. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.See DARPA-BAA-11-11 document attached.
