Identification of New Potential Scientific and Technology Areas for DoD Application. Summary of Activities

Abstract

The purpose of the La Jolla Institute's (LJI) technology innovation search program for DARPA is to identify, for consideration of support at universities, research areas either outside of current dARPA programs which could provide the basis for new programs or those, which though they fall within existing programs, offer a significant new approach or idea clearly affecting the program's goals. This search process has been mainly, though not uniquely, confined to universities and makes use of LJI's staff and network of Associates to write reports, convene workshops, etc. to bring both new and overlooked areas to DARPA's attention. In this document are summarized some of this years's program activities. Complete copies of the longer reports are reproduced in the Appendix. Contents: Report on the Polymer Flow Workshop, Preliminary Report on the Use of Anti-Matter; Comments on the Strategic Computing Program at IPTO; Meeting on Low-Dimensional, Quantum-Well Structures; DoD Applications of Electromagnetic Launch (EML) Technologies; Strategic Computing Applications Program; Four Papers on Robotics; Strategy for Complex Organization Modeling, Planning and Experiment (SCOMPLEX).
