To ensure our programs deliver for the nation and the warfighter, we rely on input and insights from agency partners across DOD and throughout the federal government.
Key partners include national laboratories, federally funded research and development centers, and military service research organizations and laboratories.
We also engage directly with Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Guardians – as well as members of Congress and their staffs – to ensure our efforts align with their needs and priorities.
To foster strong relationships with our military stakeholders, members from each military service branch service are assigned to our Director’s Office.
These liaisons assist with the transition of DARPA technologies to the field and serve as contact points for service members with technical questions.
Our Service Chiefs Fellows and Innovation Fellows programs immerse active-duty military in our world of cutting-edge R&D. Fellows work closely with program managers, sharing insights and experience in areas of mutual interest.
