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.

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 ’ 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.

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 1980, Winter received a three-year appointment to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ), serving under Dr. Bob Cooper during the very early years of research into the Strategic Defense Initiative ( SDI ) proposed by President Ronald Reagan.

* 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.

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

ARPA / DARPA is well known as a high-tech government agency, and as such has many appearances in popular fiction.

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.

However, public reaction to the Sputnik crisis led to the creation of the Advanced Research Projects Agency ( renamed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or DARPA in 1972 ), NASA, and an increase in U. S. government spending on scientific research and education.

Concerning information processing, DARPA made great progress, initially through its support of the development of time-sharing ( all modern operating systems rely on concepts invented for the Multics system, developed by a cooperation among Bell Labs, General Electric and MIT, which DARPA supported by funding Project MAC at MIT with an initial two-million-dollar grant ).

The Strategic Computing Program enabled DARPA to exploit advanced processing and networking technologies and to rebuild and strengthen relationships with universities after the Vietnam War.

In fall 2011, DARPA hosted the 100 Year Starship Symposium with the aim of getting the public to start thinking seriously about interstellar travel.

* Autonomy and freedom from bureaucratic impediments: DARPA has an exemption from Title V civilian personnel specifications, which provides for a direct authority to hire talents with the expediency not allowed by the standard civil service processes.

This provides DARPA the flexibility to get into and out of an area without the burden of sustaining staff, while building cooperative alliances with its “ agents .” These outside agents help create a constituency in their respective organizations for adopting the technology.

DARPA then contracted with BBN Technologies, Stanford University, and the University College London to develop operational versions of the protocol on different hardware platforms.

In 1977, DARPA created a packet radio network called PRNET in the San Francisco Bay area and conducted a series of experiments with SRI to verify the use of ARPANET ( a precursor to the Internet ) communications protocols ( later known as IP ) over packet radio links between mobile and fixed network nodes.

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