DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is a U.S. government agency under the Department of Defense, established in 1958. Its primary mission is to develop groundbreaking technologies for military use, ensuring national security and maintaining technological superiority. DARPA focuses on advanced research projects that might not be feasible for conventional companies or the military, fostering innovations that can lead to significant advancements in defense and beyond. Many technologies we use today, like GPS and the internet, originated from DARPA's pioneering research efforts.
