Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is a United States agency under the Director of National Intelligence's responsibility. In January 2008, Lisa Porter, an administrator at NASA with experience at DARPA, was appointed director[1] of the activity formed in 2006 from the National Security Agency's Disruptive Technology Office (DTO), the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s National Technology Alliance and the Central Intelligence Agency’s Intelligence Technology Innovation Center.[2]
The Director of National Intelligence in a September 2006 speech stated that the goal of the agency[3] is to conduct research that
- Cuts across multiple IC agencies;
- Targets new opportunities that lie in the white spaces between agencies;
- Provides innovations that agencies avoid because of current business models; and
- Generates revolutionary capabilities that will surprise our adversaries and help us avoid being surprised.
