Book Description
Five technology transfer issues have been identified as relevant to the DARPA mission. (1) Transfer within Programs: Intra-program transfer describes what DARPA program managers do on a day-to-day basis and typically involves seven strategies: *enlisting the best talent; *encouraging social interaction; *encouraging inter-institutional linkages; *providing adequate and sustained fiscal support; *concern for downstream applications; *promoting creativity; *supporting innovations which strengthen the R & D system. (2) Transfer of the Military: (3) Domestic Spin-off: (4) Technical Knowledge Containment: All DARPA's contractors share a great concern for the security issue, but few if any are able to propose viable countermeasures. There is a general fear that new restrictions on communication within the DARPA network would reduce creativity and productivity and might thus have a net negative effect on the Nation's standing as a technology leader. (5) Transfer into DARPA from Other Sources: DARPA has no reliable process for acquiring new ideas from sources outside the DARPA contractor pool. Better intelligence is needed on what is going on both in the U.S. and in foreign countries including the Soviet Bloc.

America Inc.?
Author: Linda Weiss
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801471125
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
For more than half a century, the United States has led the world in developing major technologies that drive the modern economy and underpin its prosperity. Linda Weiss attributes the U.S. capacity for transformative innovation to the strength of its national security state, a complex of agencies, programs, and hybrid arrangements that has developed around the institution of permanent defense preparedness and the pursuit of technological supremacy. In America Inc.? she examines how that complex emerged and how it has evolved in response to changing geopolitical threats and domestic political constraints, from the Cold War period to the post-9/11 era. Weiss focuses on state-funded venture capital funds, new forms of technology procurement by defense and security-related agencies, and innovation in robotics, nanotechnology, and renewable energy since the 1980s. Weiss argues that the national security state has been the crucible for breakthrough innovations, a catalyst for entrepreneurship and the formation of new firms, and a collaborative network coordinator for private-sector initiatives. Her book appraises persistent myths about the military-commercial relationship at the core of the National Security State. Weiss also discusses the implications for understanding U.S. capitalism, the American state, and the future of American primacy as financialized corporations curtail investment in manufacturing and innovation.

Funding a Revolution
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309062780
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
The past 50 years have witnessed a revolution in computing and related communications technologies. The contributions of industry and university researchers to this revolution are manifest; less widely recognized is the major role the federal government played in launching the computing revolution and sustaining its momentum. Funding a Revolution examines the history of computing since World War II to elucidate the federal government's role in funding computing research, supporting the education of computer scientists and engineers, and equipping university research labs. It reviews the economic rationale for government support of research, characterizes federal support for computing research, and summarizes key historical advances in which government-sponsored research played an important role. Funding a Revolution contains a series of case studies in relational databases, the Internet, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality that demonstrate the complex interactions among government, universities, and industry that have driven the field. It offers a series of lessons that identify factors contributing to the success of the nation's computing enterprise and the government's role within it.
