<\/a><\/p>\n

DARPA<\/strong> (the defense advanced research projects agency) is the R&D arm of he US military for far-reaching future technology. What most people do not realize is how much revolutionary medical technology<\/strong> comes out of this agency\u2019s military R&D programs. For those in need of background, you can read about the Army & DARPA\u2019s future soldier Landwarrior<\/a> program and its medtech offshoots as well as why DARPA does medical research and development that industry won\u2019t<\/a>. Fear of these future military technologies runs high with a push towards neural activation as a weapon, direct brain-computer interfaces, and drones. However, the new program has enormous potential for revolutionary medical progess as well. <\/p>\n

It has been said technology is neutral, it is the application that is either good or evil.<\/strong> (It is worth a side-track to read a discussion on this concept<\/a>) <\/p>\n

The Areas of Focus for DARPA in 2007 and Forward Are:<\/p>\n

  1. Chip-Scale Atomic Clock<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Global War on TerrorismUnmanned<\/strong> Air Vehicles<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Militarization<\/strong> of<\/strong> Space<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Supercomputer Systems<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n

  10. Alternative Energy<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
