U.S. Government funds were used to defray research and development costs. The aerospace plane is another opportunity for companies to develop new materials with Government support. However, military support for advanced-performance materials development is rapidly decreasing, both in appropriate test beds and in manufacturing support such as the U.S. Defense Department s Mantech program. 

The Biocat II technology is an improvement of the Biocat process (U.S. Patent 5,076,927), which treats acid mine drainage and heap leach effluents. The improvements were made under a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a component of the U.S. Department of Defense (D10362Y, p. 4). If adequate concentrations of sulfuric acid are not present, additional acid may be required to operate the process.

Mission. The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense is the nation s lead laboratory for research to advance the medical prevention and treatment of chemical warfare casualties. The Institute also has a clinical training mission and conducts the Medical Management of Chemical Casualties Course for health care providers from all armed services. 

U.S. Department of Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (ARPA, formerly DARPA), and the advancements under this program are being rapidly commercialized. It is expected that commercial applications will exceed military ones early bythe end of the decade. Applications areas include personal communications, and air-traffic control radar. Several companies have begun the transition from military to commer-...

In Mars exploration-related research within the United States government, NASA maintains close ties with many Defense Department units, including the Naval Research Lab but particularly Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the U.S. Army, whose work involving tracked vehicles and robotics have paralleled JPL s work with rovers. 

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), part of the U.S. Department of Defense, funds research into a number of areas, including networks, cognitive systems, robotics, and high-priority computing. This agency initially funded the project that became the basis of the Internet. 

In 1969, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (now the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) of the U.S. Department of Defense proposed a method to fink together the computers at several universities to share computational data via networks. This network became known as ARPANET, which was the precursor of the Internet. As a result, electronic mail (e-mail) was developed, along with protocols for sending information over phone lines in packets. The protocols for the transmission of these packets of data came to be known as Transmission Control... 

Careers in artillery are limited to the military and weapons research, development, and testing. The U.S. Army Field Artillery School teaches members of the military to nse cannons, rockets, and missiles in coordination with combined arms operations. Nonmilitary careers in artillery design and testing require degrees in engineering, physics, or materials sciences. Most jobs are with lar e defense contractors such as Lockheed-Martin, BAE Systems Bofors, or Raytheon, or governmental s encies snch as the Defense Advanced Research Projects j ency (DARPA), part of the U.S. Department of Defense. 

The work described in this paper has been supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the MARCO Center, the Semiconductor Research Corporation, the Office of Naval Research, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the National Science Foundation. The results presented here were collected by an outstanding group of students and postdoctoral fellows at UCLA and Caltech.
