The six-month effort was the first endeavor of the then-new Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ) headed by Roy Johnson, and proved that a small, highly focused and versatile research group with appropriate resources was an ideal method to achieve the scientific and technological advances necessary to succeed in the emerging global space race.

Satisfied with the outcome, ARPA Order Number 14-59, dated 15 August 1958, ordered the program into existence:

Back at the university he became one of Ivan Sutherland's students and part of the university's ARPA program, sharing classes with Fred Parke, James H. Clark, John Warnock and Alan Kay.

In the 1970s the funding Engelbart's group received from the Advance Research Project Agency ( ARPA ) was cut and many key members of Engelbart's team went to work for Xerox PARC where they continued to experiment with the mouse and keyset.

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.

During the late 1960s, with the transfer of these mature programs to the Services, ARPA redefined its role and concentrated on a diverse set of relatively small, essentially exploratory research programs.

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

In 1972 Bob Kahn of ARPA, with Jim Forgie ( Lincoln Laboratory, LL ) and Dave Walden ( BBN Technologies ), started the first developments in packetized speech, which would eventually lead to Voice over IP technology.

" Baran discusses his interaction with the group at ARPA who were responsible for the later development of the ARPANET.

Clark describes his research at Lincoln Laboratory and interaction with the Information Processing Techniques Office ( IPTO ) of the Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ).

* 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.

This test bed provided ARPA with a proof of concept for the technology of packet switching which later became the Internet.

When the computer was being built in the late 1960s, it was met with hostility by protesters who were suspicious of the University's tie with the Department of Defense ( through ARPA ), and felt that the University had sold out to a conspiracy to develop nuclear weapons.

* 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.

The Aspen Movie Map was a revolutionary hypermedia system developed at MIT by a team working with Andrew Lippman in 1978 with funding from ARPA.

MIT would eventually be paid three million dollars a year by ARPA to develop time-sharing through Project MAC headed by Robert Fano with the involvement of Corbató, Dennis, and Minsky who would focus on Artificial Intelligence.

Happy with the results of the redesign, on 15 August 1958 ARPA issued Order Number 14-59 that called on ABMA to:

MITRE also worked on a number of projects with ARPA, including precursors to the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network ARPANET.

In September 1963, Frosch went to Washington, DC to work with the Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ) in the U. S. Department of Defense, serving as Director for Nuclear Test Detection ( Project VELA ), and then as deputy director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, sharing responsibility for managing a $ 270 million per year program of research and development.

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.

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 August, AOMC and Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA, a Department of Defense organization ) jointly initiated a program managed by ABMA to develop a large space booster of approximately 1. 5-million-pounds. thrust using a cluster of available rocket engines.

In order to reach some sort of accommodation, a group pulled from NASA, Air Force, ARPA, ABMA, and the Office of the Department of Defense Research and Engineering formed under the Silverstein Committee in December.

Shortly after these plans were made, ARPA visited ABMA and told von Braun that they still had $ 10 million in their budget to spend before the handover.

The newly formed ARPA, who was put in charge of development of the launcher, sided with the ABMA design.

ARPA was satisfied, and started funding development of both the booster at ABMA and the new H-1 engines at Rocketdyne.

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.

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.

A marine radar with automatic radar plotting aid ( ARPA ) capability can create tracks using radar contacts.

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 ".

This allowed ARPA to concentrate its efforts on the Project Defender ( defense against ballistic missiles ), Project Vela ( nuclear test detection ), and Project AGILE ( counterinsurgency R & D ) Programs, and to begin work on computer processing, behavioral sciences, and materials sciences.

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 ).

Work on the new compiler started in 1965 as part of the ARPA sponsored CONCOMP project at the University of Michigan.

The Internet as we know it today was still in its infancy in the 1970s, and was mainly operated on telephone lines owned by AT & T which were leased by ARPA.

In the United States, the Archaeological Resources Protection Act ( ARPA ) protects archaeological sites on federally owned lands.

Formalized as Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ) on 7 February 1958, the group examined the DoD launcher requirements and compared the various approaches that were currently available.

While at Michigan he worked on the ARPA sponsored Conversational Use of Computers ( CONCOMP ) project and developed DEC PDP-8 based hardware and software to allow terminals to be connected over phone lines to an IBM 360 mainframe.

For about a year Taylor joined Sutherland and David C. Evans at the University of Utah, where he had funded a center for research on computer graphics while at ARPA.

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.

Interviews include Herman H. Goldstine and relation to IAS computer ; Stephen Lukasik and ARPA funding ; David Wheeler who worked on ILLIAC and taught at Illinois 1951-53.

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

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

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

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

As we can see from this statement the principal advantages of ARPA are a reduction in the workload of bridge personnel and fuller and quicker information on selected targets.

All of the ARPA functions were installed on board as a separate unit but needed to interfaced with existing equipment to get the basic radar data.
