As part of the Living Foundries: 1000 Molecules Program, DARPA-funded researchers at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) and biotechnology company Amyris have developed and tested a high-density, low-cost biosynthetic missile fuel: https://www.navair.navy.mil/news/NAWCWD-Amyris-collaborate-develop-test-high-energy-biosynthetic-fuel/Mon-10052020-1256 | Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - DARPA

Our Strategic Technology Office seeks to turn complexity into a powerful new asymmetric weapon via rapidly composable networks of low-cost sensors, multi-domain command and control nodes, and cooperative manned and unmanned systems. Using the concept of a mosaic, which comprises many smaller individual pieces, STO is applying "mosaic warfare" to link together lower-cost, less complex systems in a vast number of ways to create desired, interwoven effects tailored to any scenario.
