Description
Mission — EFFECTS
The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) address the Applied Research associated with the examination and evaluation of emerging technologies and system concepts that employ either physical or non-physical means to degrade or deny targeted adversary capabilities. This PE also supports innovation and robust transition planning in the technology cycle by working with entrepreneurs to increase the likelihood that DARPA funded technologies take root in the U.S. and provide new capabilities for national defense. The Effects project will examine and evaluate emerging technologies and system concepts that employ physical or non-physical means to degrade or deny targeted adversary capabilities. The feasibility of achieving potential improvements, in terms of resources, schedule, and technological risk, is also evaluated. The results from these studies and initiatives are used, in part, to formulate future prototype development programs or refocus ongoing work. Topics for this thrust include: methods of defeating enemy anti-aircraft attacks; munition technologies to increase precision, range, endurance, and hard or soft-kill weapons for a variety of mission sets; digital design methodologies that are compatible with surged production. The Effects Support project contains non-headquarters management costs in support of DARPA functions and activities across the entire Effects PE. These costs include: DARPA classified and unclassified network support and equipment; contractor support; classified program security; building security; commercial transition services that increase the likelihood that DARPA-funded technologies remain in the U.S. and provide new capabilities for national defense; DARPA outreach to universities and industry; external contracting, financial and support fees; Program Manager Intragovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) Funding; Program Managers from other Government Agencies; and similar operating expenses. Agency support is allocated on a pro-rata basis across the Agency's BA1, BA2 and BA3 PEs and, therefore, fluctuates per PE by fiscal year based on the total Agency budget in that fiscal year. Prior to FY 2026, efforts in this PE were funded in PE 0602716E, Electronics Technology.

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)
Humboldt
The Humboldt program seeks to develop directed energy (DE) devices to produce disruptive effects in electronic systems. The devices have potential for dual-use as sources to characterize the susceptibility of commercial electronics to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Prior to FY 2026, this program was funded in PE 0602716E, Project ELT-01.
Sync
The Sync program will create systems to defend against uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) entering U.S. harbors and ports. Sync is based on technologies developed in the Mobile Force Protection (MFP) program (budgeted in PE 0602702E, Project TT-04). Today's counter-UUV approaches rely on complex detection and localization methods to find the UUV prior to engagement. The Sync program will look at orthogonal approaches to solving this problem to defeat the UUV prior to detection. Sync will investigate several different approaches to defeat the UUV, starting with modeling and simulation eventually moving to hardware in the loop and pool testing. Prior to FY 2026, this program was funded in PE 0602716E, Project ELT-01.
Effects Studies and Concepts
The Effects Studies and Concepts examines emerging technologies and system concepts that employ either physical or non-physical means to degrade or deny targeted adversary capabilities. Topics under investigation include high pulsed power laser systems and design methodologies for effects-based technologies. The results from these studies and initiatives are used to formulate future programs.
