FY 1992-1993 RDT&E Descriptive Summaries: DARPA

Abstract

The Defense Research Sciences program element provides the technical foundation for long-term improvements in military equipment and systems through the discovery of new phenomena and the exploration of the potential of such phenomena for military application. It involves scientific study and experimentation directed toward knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, computer, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It forms a part of the base for (a) subsequent exploratory and advanced developments in Defense-related technologies, and (b) new and improved military functional capabilities in areas such as communications, detection, tracking, surveillance, propulsion, mobility, guidance and control, navigation, energy conversion, materials and structures, and personnel support. Funding for project DRG-01, Geophysics Research, was transferred to the Air Force in FY 1991 and Project DRH-01, Physical Sciences will not be funded in FY 1992 and beyond.
