STO MISSION AND FOCUS AREAS: STO is DARPA’s systems warfare office pursuing innovative and disruptive technologies for existing and future battlespaces. STO’s mission is to enable total systems victory over America’s adversaries. With peer competitors able to develop and field new capabilities at speeds unmatched by prior U.S. adversaries, STO focuses on the ability to provide warfighters with systems that enable superior adaptation at speed and scale or that create new opportunities for deterrence and overmatch. STO’s technical focus areas include: • Multi-Domain Mission Systems – new systems and resilient architectures with the ability to sense and sense-make; includes AI-native planning systems to provide orchestrating effects • Maritime – providing supporting capabilities in the maritime domain in ways that leverage U.S. asymmetric advantages and create novel operational dilemmas for competitors and adversaries • Space – providing supporting capabilities in the space domain, including but not limited to those that can achieve great scale through America’s rapidly-growing commercial space industry • Industry, Infrastructure, and Information – strengthening U.S. assets and ecosystems, creating complexity to stymie potential adversaries, and accelerating our own ability to field new capabilities
