DARPA’s Opera8ng Principles

•  Independent •  Small/flexible

•  World class scien>sts/engineers

•  Collabora>on with industry/universi>es/government labs

•  Project based porXolio •  Program managers technically outstanding/entrepreneurial/

driven

DARPA’s Program Managers the KEY

•  Revolu>onary “game changing” innova>ons

•  NOT group think •  Person closest to cri>cal challenges •  Understand technological opportuni>es in their area •  Understand today’s reali>es and tomorrows outlook

DARPA’s R&D Requirements Drivers

•  Ba]lefield experience • Government concerns

• Government laboratories

• Military laboratories

•  Private sector innova>on proposals • Academia research/theore>cal thinking

Theore8cal Intelligence "Internet of Things"

9

• Physical sensors • Control devices • Mul>purpose communica>ons

• Processing equipment

• User interfaces ★ Purpose—make be]er decisions and predic>ons based on richer and denser data sets

‹#›

DARPA’s Cyber Ini8a8ves

•  Cyber Defense (Cyber Grand Challenge) •  Plan X (plan large scale) missions

•  High-‐Assurance Cyber Military Systems (HACMS) (security updates not required)

•  Radio Map (sensing capability

•  Computer Individuality (dis>nct)

•  Data Analy>cs (use of informa>on at scale)

•  Language (transla>on for war-‐fighters on ba]lefield) •  Advanced Encryp>on (homomorphic)

•  Warfighter Applica>ons (prosthe>cs)

Ac8ve Cyber Defense (ACD)

Reac8ve Engagement Model •  find invading code •  unplug affected systems •  create security patches •  apply patches network wide

ACD Program (not offensive) •  collect,synchronize real >me capabili>es •  discover, define, analyze, mi>gate cyber threats/

vulnerabili>es •  disrupt and neutralize AS ATTACKS HAPPEN

11

‹#›

R&D Ecosystem

•  Small central autonomous administra>on •  Corporate partnerships

•  Academic alliances/collabora>ons

•  Associa>on affilia>ons

•  Interna>onal research partnerships •  Intergovernmental support/sharing

•  Government laboratories

•  Military laboratories

•  Communi>es of interest

Strategic Purpose for Government R&D

• Bring together best minds and prac>ces • Capture/shape cupng edge thinking and technologies on most difficult (and yet unknown) problems •  Integrate solu>ons to address people, process and technologies
