Summary:
The DARPA Convergence Industry Day will introduce the upcoming Convergence program – an effort to create an open-architecture pipeline for the design, development, and operation of deployable environmental biological sensors focused on priority chemical threat agents. The program’s multi-tier structure advances modular sensor components through full integration, ultimately enabling deployable systems ready for regulatory evaluation, supported by dedicated working groups. The Industry Day event will include a program overview, Q&A sessions, optional lightning talks to foster teaming, and one-on-one meetings with the Program Manager.
