Today, DARPA ’ s mission is still to prevent technological surprise to the US, but also to create technological surprise for our enemies.

Very little of DARPA ’ s research is performed at government labs.

* Teams and networks: At its very best, DARPA creates and sustains great teams of researchers from different disciplines that collaborate and share in the teams ’ advances.

* Hiring continuity and change: DARPA ’ s technical staff is hired or assigned for four to six years.

DARPA, the Pentagon ’ s research division, is working to make even more advancements in this area.

DARPA ’ s Shredder Challenge calls upon computer scientists, puzzle enthusiasts and anyone else who likes solving complex problems to compete for up to $ 50, 000 by piecing together a series of shredded documents.

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.

Ballston is also home to several U. S. government agencies and organizations including the National Science Foundation, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, DARPA ( the funding agency for the original Internet research ), and the Office of Naval Research, as well as non-profit groups, such as The Nature Conservancy.

The standard itself is very closely patterned after the original SIMNET distributed interactive simulation protocol, developed by Bolt, Beranek and Newman ( BBN ) for Defense Advanced Research Project Agency ( DARPA ) in the early through late 1980s.

The original version of the Handle System technology was developed with support from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ).

The original telesurgery robotic system that the da Vinci was based on was developed at SRI International in Menlo Park with grant support from DARPA and NASA.

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.

In pursuit of this mission, DARPA has developed and transferred technology programs encompassing a wide range of scientific disciplines which address the full spectrum of national security needs.

Congress has authorized DARPA to award cash prizes to further DARPA's mission to sponsor revolutionary, high-payoff research that bridges the gap between fundamental discoveries and military use.

Seeing the seriousness of the mission, DARPA sends Colonel Frank Nash to Peru with the aid of NYU linguistics professor William Race to recover the idol before anyone else can retrieve it.

The Information Awareness Office ( IAO ) was established by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) in January 2002 to bring together several DARPA projects focused on applying surveillance and information technology to track and monitor terrorists and other asymmetric threats to U. S. national security, by achieving Total Information Awareness ( TIA ).

* Information Awareness Office ( IAO ), was established by DARPA

In January 2002, the Information Awareness Office ( IAO ) was established by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) to bring together several DARPA projects focused on applying information technology to counter asymmetric threats to national security.

The ARPANET was one of the predecessors to the Internet, established by the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ).

The Johns Hopkins Center for Language and Speech Processing ( CLSP ) was established at Johns Hopkins University in 1992 with support from the U. S. government ( NSF, DARPA, DoD ).

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.

* Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA, created in 1958 )

* By February 1958, the political and defense communities had recognized the need for a high-level Department of Defense organization to execute R & D projects and created the Advanced Research Projects Agency, which later became the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or DARPA.

Engelbart's research was funded by DARPA, and SRI's ARC became involved with the ARPANET, the precursor of the Internet.

BIND was written by Douglas Terry, Mark Painter, David Riggle and Songnian Zhou in the early 1980s at the University of California, Berkeley as a result of a DARPA grant.

DARPA has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies which have had a major effect on the world, including computer networking, as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.

The agency was renamed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) in 1972, and during the early 1970s, it emphasized direct energy programs, information processing, and tactical technologies.

DARPA also funded the development of the Douglas Engelbart's NLS computer system and The Mother of All Demos ; and the Aspen Movie Map, which was probably the first hypermedia system and an important precursor of virtual reality.

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.

developed in the early 1990s part of the DARPA knowledge Sharing Effort, which was aimed at developing techniques for building large-scale knowledge bases which are

In the early days, Cerf was a program manager for the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) funding various groups to develop TCP / IP technology.

It was founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science ( MIT / LCS ) with support from the European Commission and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ), which had pioneered the Internet and its predecessor ARPANET.

PARC's West Coast location proved to be advantageous in the mid-1970s, when the lab was able to hire many employees of the nearby SRI Augmentation Research Center as that facility's funding from DARPA, NASA, and the U. S. Air Force began to diminish.

The DARPA Agent Markup Language ( DAML ) was the name of a US funding program at the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) started in 1999 by then-Program Manager James Hendler, and later run by Murray Burke, Mark Greaves and Michael Pagels.

This language was then followed by an extension entitled DAML + OIL which included researchers outside of the DARPA program in the design.

Funding for the IAO was subsequently cut and Poindexter retired from DARPA on August 12, 2003.

In the 1960s, BBN was involved in a number of LISP-based artificial intelligence projects for DARPA, many of which had very large ( for the era ) memory requirements.

It was first developed as Project Orion by DARPA, after a suggestion by Stanislaw Ulam in 1947.

DARPA declared a winner on December 2, 2011 ( the winning entry was submitted 33 days after the challenge began )-the winner was " All Your Shreds Are Belong To U. S ." using a combination system that used automated sorting to pick the best fragment combinations to be reviewed by humans.

During 2008, DARPA announced its own list of 23 problems which it hoped could cause major mathematical breakthroughs, " thereby strengthening the scientific and technological capabilities of DoD ".

In 1991, DARPA reduced its purchases amid criticism it was unfairly subsidizing Thinking Machines at the expense of other vendors like Cray, IBM, and in particular, NCUBE and MasPar.

The DARPA Electromagnetic Mortar program is an example of potential benefits, if practical challenges like sufficiently low weight can be managed.

The CIA in addition to working with subcontractors like Lockheed also worked with other branches of the government, namely DARPA ( Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ) of the DoD ( Department of Defense ) and ONI ( Office of Naval Intelligence ) though it is unclear what role if any Gottlieb played in these affairs other than authorizing them.
