 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military.
The controversial Mansfield Amendment of 1973 expressly limited appropriations for defense research (through ARPA/DARPA) to projects with direct military application.
Additionally, the political and defense communities recognized the need for a high-level Department of Defense organization to formulate and execute RandD projects that would expand the frontiers of technology beyond the immediate and specific requirements of the Military Services and their laboratories.

 Poindexter: Overview of the Information Awareness Office
While the original Genoa project was aimed primarily at supporting intelligence analysis, under Genoa II we plan to focus on supporting policy and decision-making at strategic levels.
The Information Awareness Office has a number of ongoing projects to address the functional requirements of this vision, and we will be starting new projects to complete the picture.
These projects address our needs in natural language processing, to provide discovery tools for finding information in foreign languages and converting speech to text.

 TomDispatch - Tomgram: Turse on weaponizing the Wild Kingdom
As evidenced by their Vietnam-era mechanical elephant project and a recent grant to researchers developing a robotic canine called "Big Dog" for the Army, DARPA might be said to have something of an animal fetish, reflected perhaps in various projects whose very names evoke the ethos of the wild kingdom.
DARPA has taken up the torch and is funding a rigorous research program aimed at finding novel ways to weaponize the natural world.
Says DARPA, "The long-term Defense implications of finding ways to turn thoughts into acts, if it can be developed, are enormous: imagine U.S. warfighters that only need use the power of their thoughts to do things at great distances." For years, the U.S. military has been improving its ability to reach out and kill someone.

Advanced microelectronic components such as full custom integrated circuits, application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC’s), field programmable gate arrays (FPGA’s), and systems-on-chip (SoC’s) are critical parts of future weapons and defense systems.
PHASE II: Develop and optimize the technologies, tools, or methodologies for ascertaining trustworthiness of IC’s for defense systems.
Next-generation advanced information processing systems, such as those expected to be used in real-time synthetic aperture radar imaging, automatic target recognition, and intensive medical image processing, will require large aggregate computational and communication bandwidths.
