    2. Mission Maintain technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent technological surprise from harming our national security by sponsoring revolutionary, high-payoff research that bridges the gap between fundamental discoveries and their military use.

    3. Overview Created in response to Sputnik - NASA sprang from DARPA No direct linkage to military services Designed for success AND failure Small organization with high turnover of personnel each year - - “100 geniuses connected by a travel agent” Looking for revolutionary NOT evolutionary military technology Near and far term applications

    6. Programs & Priorities Do your homework on DARPA web site (strategic thrusts and solicitations) before you start calling Linkage to PM paramount to move forward. PM can tell you if your technology may work at DARPA or give you a lead where it may be a better fit White paper is a good business move Use Industry Days, DARPA Tech, and Science and Technology forums to network within your specific technology

    7. Find office and PM in your area of expertise Organizational chart Strategic Thrusts Website www.darpa.mil Check each office site Solicitations www.darpa.mil/baa Information exchanges are encouraged with DARPA program managers Connecting with a DARPA Program Manager

    10. Funding Opportunities Technical Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Published in Federal Business Opportunities www.fedbizopps.gov www.darpa.mil/baa Industry briefing White paper Part of solicitation process Testing the waters Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) Small Business Technology Transfer Program (STTR) DARPA SBIR: www.darpa.mil/sbir DoD SBIR: http://www.acq.osd.mil/osbp/sbir/ Non-technical Infrastructure support

    11. Topic/project/effort description Include notes that would be helpful to the reader or someone (other than yourself) who needs to understand the details. Ideally the chart will be useful even without the author to explain the details. Also include references to published papers plus URLs to online versions if available. Keep in mind that somewhere or other in this chart, each of these questions should be answered: 1. What technical challenge is being undertaken on behalf of the project 2. Why is it hard and what are the open problems 3. How has this problem been addressed in the past 4. What new intellectual tools are being brought to bear on the problem 5. What is the main intermediate achievement 6. How and when does this achievement align with the project roadmap (end-of-phase or end-of-project goal) 7. What are the even long-term objectives and consequences? Include notes that would be helpful to the reader or someone (other than yourself) who needs to understand the details.

    12. SBIR/STTR Programs Congressionally mandated programs… Stimulate technological innovation Increase private sector commercialization of Federal R&D Foster participation by minority and disadvantaged firms in technological innovation

    13. SBIR/STTR Team

    14. Program Comparison At the request of a DARPA Program Manager, DARPA will adopt a Phase I or Phase II from another SBIR Federal Agency, to help meet DARPA Program needs.
