DARPA non-invasive warfighter human-machine interface R&D (Human Universal Remote SBIR)
DARPA and DoD funding and transition of non-invasive neural and muscle-sensing interfaces (sEMG, PMUT ultrasound, hyperdimensional decoding) enabling hands-free, eyes-free warfighter control of drones, radios, and TAK displays, solicited via the DoW SBIR 2027 BAA, including requirements, transition to programs of record, and congressional oversight.

Activity
30 days back, 14 ahead · hollow = scheduledWhat's happening
Updated 6d agoDARPA has a Human Universal Remote SBIR topic under the DoW SBIR 2027 BAA seeking hands-free warfighter muscle-sensing interfaces, with proposals due January 6, 2027. A second DARPA pre-release topic, on autonomous metacognitive multi-INT collection orchestration, shares the same deadline. The items show no congressional, oversight or transition-to-program-of-record activity so far.
