Welcome to /c/DARPA - a place to aggregate the interesting and unusual research undertaken by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

While doing some personal research, I was surprised to discover how much information DARPA releases about the projects that they're working on, via their website. I thought it could be interesting to put some of the strangest projects together here.

I want this community to function well as a tidy RSS feed, so posts should be direct links to DARPA research projects from darpa.mil, or reputable news and information sources. General discussion is welcome in the stickied post. Depending on community activity, I'll make the sticky post weekly or monthly.

Posting is restricted right now, but will be opened soon, after I put together a handful of initial links.

Let me know your thoughts, and, cheers!

That presentation slide is awesome! Where did you find that?

I've opened up posting, so, do post this to the community if you feel like it!

I wrote a response to your other comment but jerboa crashed as I linked a site.

Anyway, .edu sites are always troves for collaboration between mil and public research.

Fas.org is great but you need to use an external search as all the archives are hidden from the main site. (Not just DARPA but things like af2025 and AF space and weather domination, etc)

This one on TELEPORTATION is pretty neat.

Wow, very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

I'll gk through my own archives to see what sites and docs might be fun.

Most old sites are now defunct, though.

Like the Alaska .edu site where DARPA did their haarp research.

I'm not really one to post. I usually respond with (hopefully) useful info.

Well, all the same, thank you for chiming in.
