The RAND Corporation's Memorandum 5446-ISA / ARPA states: " the fact that the VC obtain most of their food from the neutral rural population dictates the destruction of civilian crops ... if they ( the VC ) are to be hampered by the crop destruction program, it will be necessary to destroy large portions of the rural economy – probably 50 % or more ".

The Mansfield Amendment of 1973 expressly limited appropriations for defense research ( through ARPA / DARPA ) to projects with direct military application.

Some contend that the amendment devastated American science, since ARPA / DARPA was a major funding source for basic science projects of the time ; the National Science Foundation never made up the difference as expected.

While waiting for the Model 65M to arrive, UM Computing Center personnel were able to perform early time-sharing experiments using an IBM S / 360-50 that was funded by the ARPA CONCOMP ( Conversational Use of Computers ) Project.

In July 1959 a change request was received from ARPA to upgrade the upper stage to a much more powerful design using four new liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen powered engines in a larger-diameter 160 " second stage, with an upgraded Centaur using two engines of the same design for the third stage.

In the 1960s, SDC developed the timesharing system for the AN / FSQ-32 mainframe computer for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ).

Finally, human errors such as inaccurate speed inputs and confusion between true and relative vectors add to the limitations of the radar / ARPA suite.

A typical shipboard ARPA / RADAR system.

Its original name was simply Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ), but it was renamed to " DARPA " ( for Defense ) in March 1972, then renamed " ARPA " again in February 1993, and then renamed " DARPA " again in March 1996.

DARPA was established during 1958 ( as ARPA ) in response to the Soviet launching of Sputnik during 1957, with the mission of keeping U. S. military technology more sophisticated than that of the nation's potential enemies.

DARPA was created as the Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ) by the Supplemental Military Construction Authorization ( Air Force ) ( Public Law 85-325 ) and Department of Defense Directive 5105. 15, in February 1958.

Some realistic references to ARPA in fiction are in Tom Swift and the Visitor from Planet X ( DARPA consults on a technical threat ), in episodes of television program The West Wing ( the ARPA-DARPA distinction ), the television program Numb3rs ( DARPA research into creating the first self-aware computer ), and in the motion picture Executive Decision ( use of a one-of-a-kind experimental prototype in an emergency ).

In 1959, ARPA ( now known as DARPA ) funded a research project called Project Agile to develop a new tactical truck for the Southeast Asia theatre, as well as other projects of interest to the then-looming Vietnam War.

* The Mansfield Amendment of 1973 expressly limited appropriations for defense research through ARPA, which is largely independent of the Military Services, to projects with direct military application.

In addition, the < tt > ARPA </ tt > domain is used for technical name spaces in the management of Internet addressing and other resources.

* Oral history interview with Jack P. Ruina Charles Babbage Institute-interview is mainly concerned with the beginning of the Information Processing Techniques Office within ARPA: the initial goals, how the idea of an information processing program was initiated, the selection of the first director.

On 23 September 1958, ARPA and the Army Ordnance Missile Command ( AOMC ) drew up an additional agreement enlarging the scope of the program, stating " In addition to the captive dynamic firing ..., it is hereby agreed that this program should now be extended to provide for a propulsion flight test of this booster by approximately September 1960.

Intel 960 processor is also used in Automatic Radar Plotting Aid ( ARPA ) interfacing boards of radars from Kelvin Hughes.

One early ARPA report noted " The SATURN is considered to be the first real space vehicle as the Douglas DC-3 was the first real airliner and durable work-horse in aeronautics.

The main purpose for Radar and Automatic Radar Plotting Aids ( ARPA ) on a ship's bridge is to move safely among other vessels.

ARPA processes radar information much more rapidly than conventional radar but is still subject to the same limitations.

ARPA data is only as accurate as the data that comes from inputs such as the gyro and speed log.

The main operational advantage is that both the radar and ARPA data are readily comparable.

ARPA agreed that the Juno proposal was more likely to meet the timeframes required, although they felt that there was no strong reason to use the E-1, and recommended a lower-risk approach here as well.

: Every vessel must at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight ( day shape or lights by eyes or visual aids ) and hearing ( sound signal or Marine VHF radio ) as well as by all available means ( e. g., Radar, Automatic Radar Plotting Aid ( ARPA ), Automatic Identification System ( AIS ), GMDSS ...) in order to make a full assessment of the situation and risk of collision.

Rocketdyne was developing this engine for the Titan missile, and it was the largest engine nearing introduction within the time frame that ARPA gave Wernher von Braun to develop what was then known as the " Juno V ".

Originally known as Super-Jupiter, the design became the Juno V during development, and on February 3 an ARPA memorandum officially renamed the project Saturn.

Aerolíneas Paraguayas ( also known as ARPA ) was founded in 1994.

Specific charges included violating the Archaeological Resources Protection Act ( ARPA ), depredation and theft of government property, theft of Indian tribal property, violating the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act ( NAGPRA ), and transportation of stolen property.

In addition to ARPA, various groups within the US government had been considering the formation of a civilian agency to handle space exploration.

Sproull left Cornell to become director of ARPA where he was a strong advocate of cooperation among academia, government, and industry to meet US scientific needs for defense and competition with the Soviet Union.

In 1999, the environmental protection agency ARPA ( the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection ) conducted a study of the entire Dora Riparia and the river Sangone, revealing a condition of serious pollution.

More generally, such security breaches were discussed at length in a RAND Corporation task force report published under ARPA sponsorship by J. P. Anderson and D. J.

Encryption support was provided for commercial standards such as Ethernet, IP ( originally developed by DOD's ARPA ), and optical fiber multiplexing.

Conditions such as dense traffic and course and speed changes can confuse ARPA units.

Crocker has been a program manager at Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ), a senior researcher at USC's Information Sciences Institute, founder and director of the Computer Science Laboratory at The Aerospace Corporation and a vice president at Trusted Information Systems.

Unfortunately, radar has a number of limitations, and ARPA inherits those limitations and adds a number of its own.

Information obtained from radar and ARPA must be treated with scrutiny: over reliance on these systems has sunk ships.
