"Proposers are free to reconfigure, repurpose, program, reprogram, modify, combine or recombine commercially available technology in any way within the bounds of local, state and federal laws and regulations," the announcement reads. "Use of components, products and systems from non-military technical specialties (e.g., transportation, construction, maritime and communications) is of particular interest."
Selected participants will compete for a DARPA-funded feasibility study worth up to $40,000. Competitors will have two weeks to construct their prototypes and gain access to up to $70,000 in funding. Prototypes will be evaluated and the winners will each receive $20,000.
