Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

USA

DARPA, the U.S. Department of Defense’s advanced research agency, was founded in 1957 to prevent strategic technological surprises. Known for driving transformative breakthroughs rather than incremental progress, DARPA has pioneered innovations that revolutionize both military capabilities—such as precision weapons and stealth tech—and civilian life, including the Internet, GPS, and mRNA vaccine development. Through partnerships across academia, industry, and government, DARPA accelerates cutting-edge research from concept to real-world impact.
