2. What’s New at DARPA

3. What makes DARPA unique… Formed in 1958 to PREVENTand CREATE strategic surprise Capabilities, mission focused Finite duration projects Diverse performers Multi-disciplinary approach…from basic research to system engineering As the DoD’s innovation engine, we are committed to the boldest, creative leaps…

4. Creative leaps require… Best Jumpers Protect the Fragile/Fleeting Challenge One’s World View …and are unafraid to challenge conventional viewpoints or methods. …who recognize opportunities and are empowered to act rapidly… Bold, best-in-class technical experts and knowledgeable, lean, adaptable support staff…

5. A new way of looking at problems …

8. Re-engage the science base …

9. Fundamental Research: National & DoD Policy National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) - 189 • National Policy on the Transfer of Scientific, Technical and Engineering Information • This directive establishes national policy for controlling the flow of science, technology, and engineering information produced in federally-funded fundamental research at colleges, universities, and laboratories. • “Fundamental research means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community, as distinguished from proprietary research and from industrial development, design, production, and product utilization, the results of which ordinarily are restricted for proprietary or national security reasons.” Acquisition Technology & Logistics (AT&L) Fundamental Research memo of May 24, 2010 • Updates the previous AT&L Fundamental Research (FR) memo of June 26, 2008 • “My intention is to ensure that the DoD grants, contracts, and negotiations with the research community for fundamental research are consistent across Components and fully compliant with National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 189.” • “The performance of fundamental research, again with rare exceptions, should not be managed in a way that it becomes subject to restrictions on the involvement of foreign researchers or, publication restrictions.”

10. Fundamental Research: DARPA Execution The relationship between DARPA and performers requires collaboration. • DARPA has challenged itself to eliminate pre-publication review and other restrictions on fundamental research except in those exceptional cases when it is in the best interest of national security. • DARPA has established a proactive process that requires us to make informed predictive judgment to define and scope fundamental research. • DARPA is requiring Program Managers to monitor fundamental research for contract modifications, statement of work creep, or unanticipated breakthroughs that may exceed fundamental research scope. • DARPA’s contracting processes and agent guidelines have been updated to ensure this intent is institutionalized for all DARPA fundamental research contracts. DARPA performers and researchers must share responsibility by:  • Developing a keen understanding of when “fundamental research” does not apply. • Ensuring publications are consistent with the defined research scope (i.e. not discussing applied uses in publications). • Continuously monitor contracted fundamental research for modifications, statement of work creep, or unanticipated breakthroughs that may exceed contracted fundamental research scope.

11. Devolve authority …… and put the “Manager” back in Program Manager

12. Focus on transition …

13. Technology Transition TEN POINTSTO CONSIDER FOR GETTING IT OFF THE SHELF: 1. OWN A DISCRIMINATING TECHNOLOGY 2. WALK A MILE IN A WARRIOR’S BOOTS 3. HAVE A PLAN BUT DON’T STICK TO IT 4. MAKE A COMMITMENT 5. LEAD YOUR CONTRACTORS 6. BUILD A CONSTITUENCY 7. WORK THE ACQUISITION SYSTEM 8. LOOK FOR WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY 9. BE CONSCIOUS OF DOLLARS AND SENSE 10. DON’T FORGET THE LITTLE THINGS Far too many R&D programs result in reports or prototypes that represent fundamentally good ideas but end up gathering dust on a shelf.

14. Challenges …

15. Challenges … Compressed Timelines

16. DoD 5000 Defense Acquisition System A DoDD 5000 Standard Acquisition Timeline Years if not Decades……..

17. The DARPA Timeline Material Solution Analysis / Technology, Engineering, and Development Transition Seedling Technology Board BAA/ Industry Day Study/ Program 48 months .. or 65 Days

18. Challenges … Global Competition

19. Global S&T Trends Increased Globalization of Science and Technology Increased Pace of Foreign Technology Development Increased Focus on Disruptive Technology Decreased Intellectual Capital Advantage of the US Net Equation Uncertainty Increasing Intellectual Advantage of US Declining US Needs More Technology Options

20. DARPA International Cooperation DARPA’s International Strategy • Research international S&T community for new ideas and fresh outlooks to S&T interest areas identified by tech offices and PMs. • Consider opportunities for international cooperation in all new starts, projects and Broad Agency Announcements. • Conduct exploratory discussions with allied and friendly governments to develop mutually beneficial relationships for selection of international projects based on jointly devised criteria and values. • Develop mutually advantageous project agreements and information exchanges. • Prevent technological surprise by exploring new science resident with allies. Cooperative Project Selection Criteria • Projects should have scientific and/or operational value, offer a shared challenge, and have mutual interest for both DARPA and the partner nation. • Projects should be endeavors that are more successful if planned and executed bilaterally rather than if undertaken independently by either Party. • Projects should leverage the strengths (e.g. capabilities, talents, infrastructure, lack of prohibitions, etc.) of both DARPA and the partner nation. • Projects should hold the promise of shared and equivalent scientific and/or operational impact for both Parties.

21. Scope of International Work Current International Activities • 51 projects underway with 14 countries; mostly grants and contracts. • 3 legacy bilateral agreements (Israel, Singapore, & Sweden). • Numerous foreign White Papers and Project Proposals under consideration within the Broad Agency Announcement process. • Ongoing dialogue with foreign embassies and research institutions continues to yield potentially new S&T opportunities. • PM workshops with foreign counterparts being conducted and planned for the future. • Agency is exploring and evaluating options for future collaborative S&T research with other foreign governments.

22. Security Management Integrated operating procedures across all security disciplines Basic CI familiarization for all personnel Understanding of the threat Know who you’re dealing with Clearly identified scope for cooperative efforts Effective monitoring of international execution (adjust as needed) Counterintelligence and Security are a critical aspect of a successful International Cooperation program

30. Data Compilation “Compilations of items of information that are individually unclassified may be classified if the compiled information reveals an additional association or relationship that: (1) meets the standards for classification under this order; and (2) is not otherwise revealed in the individual items of information.” EO13292

31. Data Compilation “Compilations of items of information that are individually unclassified may be classified if the compiled information reveals an additional association or relationship that: (1) meets the standards for classification under this order; and (2) is not otherwise revealed in the individual items of information.” EO13292 Last year, Netflix published 10 million movie rankings by 500,000 customers as part of a challenge for people to come up with better recommendation systems than the one the company was using. The data was anonymized by removing personal details and replacing names with random numbers to protect the privacy of the recommenders. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin de-anonymized some of the Netflix data by comparing rankings and timestamps with public information in IMDb. Using public anonymous data from the 1990 census, Latanya Sweeney found that 87 percent of the population in the United States, 216 million of 248 million, could likely be uniquely identified by their five-digit ZIP code, combined with their gender and date of birth.

32. What components or engineering details can be unclassified?

33. Challenges … In the end, it’s all about the people
