Between 1976 and 1981, DARPA's major projects were dominated by air, land, sea, and space technology, tactical armor and anti-armor programs, infrared sensing for space-based surveillance, high-energy laser technology for space-based missile defense, antisubmarine warfare, advanced cruise missiles, advanced aircraft, and defense applications of ...
Illustration of HTV-2 from DARPA. Lockheed Martin received the only Phase 2 HWS contract in 2004, to develop technologies further and reduce technology risk on the program. [11] The second phase of the Hypersonic Weapon System development was to perform a set of flight tests with a series of boost-glide Hypersonic Technology Vehicles (HTVs). [12]
In April 2021, DARPA announced the start of DRACO by awarding 18-month Phase 1 contracts to General Atomics for the nuclear reactor concept design ($22 million), and to Blue Origin ($2.5 million) and Lockheed Martin ($2.9 million) for their competing operation system and demonstration system concept designs.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technologies for use by the military. DARPA leads the development of military technology in the United States and today, has dozens of ongoing projects; everything from humanoid robots to bullets that can ...
EXACTO technology is claimed to markedly extend the day and night-time range of current sniper systems. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] How the ammunition is designed to change direction in mid-air is classified. The second phase of the program was completed in summer 2014 with a number of improvements provided.
DARPA's Assault Breaker II is designed to stunt through multi-domain operations adversaries' advances early in a conflict, similar to the original Assault Breaker program. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] It is a set of "new warfighting operational constructs based on new and emerging technologies and capabilities" and reportedly would focus on ships, air defenses ...
The STTC traces its lineage to 1983 when the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) started work on a technology to network a large number of manned simulators, emulators and semi-automated force simulations to form a Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) of a battlefield. DARPA ran the project from 1983 to 1989 and convinced the ...
Boomerang is a gunfire locator developed by DARPA and BBN Technologies primarily for use against snipers. Boomerang is mounted on mobile vehicles such as the Humvee, Stryker, and MRAP combat vehicles. There were plans to integrate it into the Land Warrior system.
