DARPA funds high-risk, high-reward research that creates revolutionary capabilities for national defense in areas such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum computing, hypersonic systems, and electronic warfare. Program Managers identify specific research challenges and solicit proposals through Broad Agency Announcements. DARPA does not fund basic academic research; projects must have a clear transition path to military application.
