At any given time, DARPA employs approximately 100 program managers responsible for creating and directing roughly 250 active research and development programs. By design, these programs are of limited duration, lasting three to five years on average. That deadline fuels the signature DARPA urgency to achieve success in less time than might be considered reasonable in a conventional setting. When a program concludes, DARPA shifts its resources to other priorities. The program managers and support teams that run our research programs typically move on to other parts of the innovation ecosystem and may no longer be available to answer questions about their work. The programs in this archive are provided for historical purposes only. The program descriptions are not updated, and any email addresses or websites provided may be inactive.
