Mission
  • Maintain technological superiority of the
  • U.S. military and prevent technological
  • surprise from harming our national security by
  • sponsoring revolutionary, high-payoff research
    that
  • bridges the gap between fundamental discoveries
    and their military use.

Overview
  • Created in response to Sputnik - NASA sprang from
    DARPA
  • No direct linkage to military services
  • Designed for success AND failure
  • Small organization with high turnover of

Programs Priorities
  • Do your homework on DARPA web site (strategic
    thrusts and solicitations) before you start
    calling
  • Linkage to PM paramount to move forward. PM can
    tell you if your technology may work at DARPA or
    give you a lead where it may be a better fit.
    Information exchanges are encouraged with DARPA
    program managers.
  • White paper is a good business move
  • Use Industry Days, DARPA Tech, and Science and
    Technology forums to network within your
    specific technology
