Expand. I think there is more.
DARPA specifically funds "ideas"
wth small business, startups.
They also present problems and ask for help from industry
R&D programs then cut the business loose with either full IP rights
Or limited
It's the CLAS or SAP projects that
are looking at shit we wont see for 10 years in the public
If ever
InQTel is everywhere - just look at their site and everything they invest in.
Dont forget IARPA - same shit as DARPA
Tracking. I think you have your answer.
The premise of the creation of DARPA
etc. was I believe good.
Just like everything else in govt there was severe
Perversion of the Agencies through Bush1, Clinton, 2 and then accelerated with
The fag 44
everything in use today from a technology
Perspective has roots in DARPA (eg internet)
or other agencies similar
Their MO is to commercialize the
projects when they reach a phase where
production can begin
Unless they just want to keep it for DOD etc.
Not all are bad, but there are some that
Seem not on the up and up
