Defense Advanced Research Project Agency(DARPA).
David Halperin, Risking Innovation: DARPA in the Limelight(2003):
The agency has a complex relationship with the private sector and academia: part benefactor, part customer, part collaborator. It rotates its technical experts between projects every three to five years to maintain freshness, and it ensures the transfer of military technology for commercial development.
Nicholas Turse,The Wild Weapons of DARPA(2004):
A plethora of products designed to maim and kill, among them: the m-16 rifle, Hellfire-missile equipped predator drones, stealth fighters and bombers, surface-to-surface artillery rocket systems, Tomahawk cruise missiles. B-52 bomber upgrades, Titan missiles, Javelin portable "fire and forget" guided missiles, cannon-launched Copperhead guided projectiles.
