In July 1996 DARPA went on to host the " Wearables in 2005 " workshop, bringing together industrial, university and military visionaries to work on the common theme of delivering computing to the individual.

In the mid-1990s they were awarded some DARPA funding to develop a modern user interface to Augment, called Visual AugTerm ( VAT ), while participating in a larger program addressing the IT requirements of the Joint Task Force.

DARPA has six program offices, all of which report to the DARPA director.

* DARPA Silent Talk-A planned program attempting to identify EEG patterns for words and transmit these for covert communications.

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 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.

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.

In 2007, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) revealed a program to develop technology for a UAV with an endurance capability of over 5 years.

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program ( HAARP ) is an ionospheric research program jointly funded by the U. S. Air Force, the U. S. Navy, the University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ).

Programs such as the Heterogenous Aerial Reconnaissance Team program developed by DARPA have automated much of the aerial surveillance process.

In 2005, DARPA announced the ' Underwater Express program ', a research and evaluation bid to establish the potential of supercavitation.

* Mudge-later became a program manager at DARPA

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) started the research and development of automated visual surveillance and monitoring ( VSAM ) program, between 1997 and 1999, and airborne video surveillance ( AVS ) programs, from 1998 to 2002.

Other recent research highlights include studies of the effects of sleep and sleep loss on human cognitive functioning, work to advance shock compression science with contracts awarded to the WSU Institute for Shock Physics by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) and the Department of Energy, and a program funded by the National Science Foundation that trains doctoral students to analyze evolutionary processes.

The DARPA program was canceled in 2004 after criticism from civil libertarians concerning the privacy implications of the system.

This group was jointly funded by the DARPA ( under the DAML program ) and the European Union's Information Society Technologies ( IST ) funding project.

From January 2002, to August 2003, Poindexter served as the Director of the DARPA Information Awareness Office ( IAO ).

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

Almost immediately afterwards ( within less than a day ) the Pentagon announced the cancellation of PAM, and by the end of the week John Poindexter, head of the DARPA unit responsible for developing it, had offered his resignation ; the PAM had first been proposed & funded in 2001, and Poindexter joined DARPA in December 2002.

See Presentation by Dr. John Poindexter, Director, Information Awareness Office ( IAO ), DARPA, at DARPA-Tech 2002 Conference, Anaheim, CA ( Aug. 2, 2002 ); ISAT 2002 Study, Security with Privacy ( Dec. 13, 2002 ); and IAO Report to Congress regarding the Terrorism Information Awareness Program at A-13 ( May 20, 2003 ) in response to Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2003, No. 108-7, Division M, § 111 ( b ) Feb. 20, 2003.

These figures are " on average " since DARPA focuses on short-term ( two to four-year ) projects run by small, purpose-built teams.

The most public RISC designs, however, were the results of university research programs run with funding from the DARPA VLSI Program.

This interconnection of unrelated networks is run by DARPA.

Sandstorm moments before the 2004 DARPA Grand Challenge qualifying run.

It is being run by the Air Force Research Laboratory ( AFRL ) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ).

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 ).

* US military DARPA Grand Challenge-In 2002, the US Department of Defense announced a " Grand Challenge ," for US-based teams to produce a vehicle that could autonomously navigate and reach a target in the desert of the southwestern USA.

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.

In 2002, DARPA decided to cut its ties with JASON.

* The Dynamic Analysis and Replanning Tool ( DART ), which is said to alone have paid back during the years from 1991 to 1995 for all thirty years of DARPA investments in AI research.

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.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technologies for use by the military.

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.

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 ’ s original mission, established in 1958, was to prevent technological surprise like the launch of Sputnik, which signaled that the Soviets had beaten the U. S. into space.

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

DARPA is independent from other more conventional military R & D and reports directly to senior Department of Defense management.

DARPA has around 240 personnel ( about 140 technical ) directly managing a $ 3. 2 billion budget.

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.

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.

The DEFENDER and AGILE Programs formed the foundation of DARPA sensor, surveillance, and directed energy R & D, particularly in the study of radar, infrared sensing, and x-ray / gamma ray detection.

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 supported the evolution of the ARPANET ( the first wide-area packet switching network ), Packet Radio Network, Packet Satellite Network and ultimately, the Internet and research in the artificial intelligence fields of speech recognition and signal processing, including parts of Shakey the robot.
