Where Would We Be Without DARPA?
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is the technological leader in robotics, electronics, communication, and combat weaponry development of the U.S. Department of Defense. While military use is of prime intent, many projects eventually
make it into our everyday lives, most notably the Computer Mouse, Internet,
GPS, Drones, and Siri and her cousins.
Since 1958, inventions by DARPA have changed the way we communicate, work, and travel - both in peace and war. An astounding array of projects are already in development, most of which won't be public knowledge or see general application until replaced by more advanced, secret technology.
DARPA collaborates with a diverse section of industry, small business, academia, and corporate partners. To learn more about the agency and opportunities to work with it, use the links below.
