DARPA Defense Sciences Office (DSO) 40th Anniversary Messages
DARPA’s Defense Sciences Office (DSO) celebrates 40 years of forging new scientific frontiers for national security. Former DSO and DARPA directors highlight key achievements and congratulate DSO on this milestone.
Background:
Four decades ago, DARPA (then ARPA) decided to combine several offices focused on singular technologies into one office that could represent the breadth of sciences needed to support the DARPA mission. That office, the Defense Sciences Office (DSO), is now DARPA’s longest running, continuously staffed office.
Over these past forty years, program managers (PMs) in DSO have worked to change what’s possible in support of national security. DSO PMs serve as DARPA’s far forward scouts, identifying and seeding new foundational science and technology upon which future generations of pivotal, breakthrough technology can be built. From creating entirely new disciplines to spinning off new DARPA offices (the Microsystems Technology Office and the Biological Technologies Office) DSO has helped shape and reshape the national security technology landscape.
