BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT*** A Detailed Guide to the High Priority, Rapidly Growing $1 Billion Advanced Technology Development Program Managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) ** * Price $480.00 per copy DARPA manages imaginative, high risk/high payoff defense technology development programs. Its budget now exceeds $1 billion annually—and spending is expected to double over the next several years. Activities include development of new subma- rine technology, anti-submarine warfare systems, marine communications systems and advanced materials for naval and other uses. Among the 175 companies now involved in DARPA/NAVY contracts are Aquanautics, Gould, GTE, Honeywell, Magna- vox, Norden Systems, Raytheon, Sperry, TRW, Union Carbide and Westinghouse. IMA has just released a new report assessing DARPA programs. This report describes DARPA activities, assesses future pro- gram direction and provides a roadmap for developing business in this area.
