Assembling atom-sized pieces for micromachines goal of DARPA A2P program - News
December 31, 2015
ARLINGTON, Virginia. DARPA officials are looking to develop technologies and processes to build nanometer-scale pieces whose dimensions are near the size of atoms—into systems, components, or materials that are at least millimeter-scale in size. The big hurdle to this goal is that many common materials, when fabricated at nanometer-scale, exhibit unique and attractive “atomic-scale” behaviors but lose them when they are built at product scale dimensions such as a few centimeters. So DARPA launched the Atoms to Product (A2P) program and chose ten groups to go and solve this challenge.

DARPA's PCAS system prototype demonstration completed - News
September 22, 2015
ARLINGTON, Va. The U.S. Air Force and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) conducted a demonstration of DARPA’s Persistent Close Air Support (PCAS) prototype system on an A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft. The demonstration consisted of 50 sorties near Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada showing that a warfighter serving as a joint terminal attack controller (JTAC) on the ground can coordinate with a pilot and command an airstrike with a few clicks on a tablet.

DARPA seeks affordable, low-power designer ICs - News
August 21, 2015
ARLINGTON, Virginia. Officials at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are seeking proposals for the three-phase Circuit Realization At Faster Timescales (CRAFT) program which aims at spurring development of integrated circuits (ICs) that are not only low power, but can be fabricated much more affordably than custom ICs used today that often exceed $100 million in development costs. They want to develop new fast-track circuit-design methods, multiple sources for integrated circuit fabrication, and a technology repository.
