The purpose of this paper is to communicate, a la Dawson (1978) and Frey (1980) the what and how of the Defense advanced Research projects Agency/Cybernetics Technology Division's (DARPA/CTD) social science research funding. It is hoped that it will make some, who may have asked “What's a DARPA?” while perusing the Table of Contents, aware of another possible funding source and will enhance the relevance to the DARPA mission of proposals received by the Division.

The Department of Defense (DoD), in support of the National Drug Control Strategy, has designated that detecting and countering the production, trafficking and use of illegal drugs is a high priority national security mission. The advanced Research projects Agency (ARPA) Counterdrug Program is assisting DoD in this objective by developing technology and prototype systems to enhance the capabilities of the DoD and civilian law enforcement agencies, consistent with the DoD mission and the supply reduction goals of the National Drug Control Strategy. The objective of this paper is to summarize the current ARPA Counterdrug Program, with special emphasis on the current efforts and future plans for developing technology to meet the National needs for Non-Intrusive Inspection.

In this paper I will describe the way the Defense advanced Research projects Agency (DARPA) plans technology programs. The procedures I will describe apply to other technology areas besides Optics and I won't be very specific about the Optics Programs except to define the scope of our efforts in Optics. The basic thing I want to do is provide some feeling for how we make decisions and why we do things that may appear strange from outside the Government. To do that I am going to talk about the planning of the DARPA Optics Programs. I use the word planning rather than management because, in the particular role I have, I spend much of my time involved with the planning function, whereas the management function is shared by several people in DARPA. The DARPA managers like myself do some management and the individual Division Chiefs and Program Managers do more. However, a great deal of the management is reflected down to the Service agents that do the day-to-day technical and fiscal management of the programs.

The establishment of a science and technology base for many aspects of defense manufacturing and for adapting intelligent systems for complex military operational tasks is a cornerstone effort of advanced research with great national significance. This presentation provides an overview of the efforts of the Defense advanced Research projects Agency (DARPA) and the Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories (AFWAL) to plan and fund technology development for a substantial leap in Intelligent Task Automation (ITA). In addressing the needs for high productivity in manufacturing and robust applications to complex military tasks, the ITA program develops and integrates the generic technologies impacting, gripping, sensing, viewing, recognizing and understanding the environment, controlling manipulation, and intelligently providing command of the task.
