8 DARPA s Strategic Thrusts Detection, Precision ID, Tracking, and Destruction of Elusive Surface Targets How can we find and destroy any ground target, anywhere, anytime, in any weather? Characterization of Underground Structures How can we find out what is going on inside deeply buried structures? Force Multipliers for Urban Area Operations How can we fight as effectively in cities as we do in open terrain? Networked Manned & Unmanned Systems How can we combine manned and unmanned systems to create entirely new types of networked forces?

9 DARPA s Strategic Thrusts Robust, Secure Self-Forming Tactical Networks How can we build the networks needed for network-centric warfare? Cognitive Systems How can we create computers that adapt to people rather than forcing people to adapt to computers? Assured Use of Space How can we ensure that the US military can continue to operate as it needs to on-orbit? Bio-Revolution How can we use the burgeoning knowledge from the life sciences to help the warfighter?
