It is sufficient to demonstrate large prototypes with a clear path to miniaturization. Keep in mind that one application area is that of phased arrays, where elements can be spaced as closely as one-half wavelength. Therefore, DARPA is expecting that order of magnitude in size, eventually, and would find more value in a technical approach that includes smaller prototypes over a technical approach that does not. Q: Should the technical content of the proposal adhere to the Technology Areas I and II (i.e., strictly devices and signaling), or is there allowance to discuss application areas and concepts as well? A: The technical scope of the proposed work should address Technology Areas 1 and 2 as required by the solicitation. However, a proposer may choose to discuss application areas in their proposal to support their technology transition plan/approach, or could add in a capability to be delivered or demonstrated that is not part of the Govt. defined metrics if such capability did not r
