 WHY ARCHIVED: DARPA urgency is the highest-quality signal available that the demand side of Pattern 4 is at structural risk. Not from market competition but from deliberate strategic substitution by the largest class of He-3 buyers.
 
 EXTRACTION HINT: Extract claim about DARPA strategic demand substitution risk. Note the geopolitical dimension: China's rapid Nature paper response suggests He-3-free ADR is both a US strategic priority AND a Chinese strategic priority — different motivations (eliminating supply vulnerability vs. exploiting rare-earth advantages) but converging on the same technology direction.

+## Key Facts
+- DARPA issued urgent call for He-3-free sub-kelvin cryocoolers on January 27, 2026
+- Superconducting quantum computers require cooling to ~25mK using dilution refrigerators with He-3/He-4 mixtures
+- Global He-3 production: tens of kilograms per year from aging tritium stockpiles
+- Chinese scientists published EuCo2Al9 ADR alloy in Nature in February 2026
+- Zero Point Cryogenics deployed PSR systems (95% He-3 volume reduction) to early partners Spring 2026
+- Kiutra raised €13M in October 2025 and is commercially deploying He-3-free ADR systems
+- He-3 is used across quantum computing, nuclear smuggling detection, fusion research, and medical imaging
