ARLINGTON, Va. Following 20 years of high-level innovation and testing with U.S. Army and Marine Corps partners, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Grand Challenge -- a first-of-its-kind race to foster the development of self-driving ground vehicles -- is nearing its conclusion as the Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency (RACER) program gets ready to wrap up.

ARLINGTON, Va. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) embarked on the initial phase of its Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS) program, the agency's effort to make quantum sensing viable beyond the lab and find uses on the ground, at sea, in the air, and even in space.

ARLINGTON, Va. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Digital RF Battlespace Emulator (DRBE) program announced that it built the world’s largest high-fidelity, real-time virtual radio-frequency (RF) test range, saying that it enables previously unachievable scale and realism in the emulation of EW scenarios.

EVERETT, Washington. DARPA held a christening ceremony for the USX-1 Defiant, an autonomous unmanned surface vessel (USV) built under the No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS) program, the agency announced in a statement.

ARLINGTON, Va. The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) No Manning Required Ship (NOMARS) autonomous long-duration prototype ship is seen underway on the water in the first video of it operating at sea. 

ARLINGTON, Va. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently held its Resilient Software Systems Colloquium, during which more than 300 participants from across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), defense industry, U.S. government, allies, academia, and formal-methods developers convened as part of DARPA's goal to catalyze widespread adoption of formal methods, mathematically rigorous techniques that can dramatically improve the security and reliability of software systems.

ARLINGTON, Va. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is teaming with the U.S. Air Force to integrate formal methods-based cybersecurity tools -- a mathematically rigorous approach to software development that helps eliminate exploitable vulnerabilities before software is deployed -- on the MQ-9 Reaper, the first project in the DARPA Resilient Software Systems Capstone program.
