<p>Active Project #2 on DARPA's Wikipedia page, ArcLight. "Its goal is to equip Aegis cruisers with a weapon system that is capable of striking targets nearly anywhere on the globe, thereby increasing the power of surface ships to a level comparable to that of ballistic missile-equipped submarines."</p>

<p>DARPA’s mission is to maintain the technological superiority of
the U.S. military and prevent technological surprise from harming our
national security by sponsoring revolutionary, high-payoff research
bridging the gap between fundamental discoveries and their military
use. </p>
Over the years, DARPA has worked to enhance our national security by
funding research and technology development that not only have improved
our military capabilities but have changed the way we live. Since the
very beginning, DARPA has been the place for people with innovative
ideas that lead to groundbreaking discoveries.<br><br><br><br>Their mission does not extend to intelligence gathering, police keeping, or any form of ... kinetic warfare.<br><br>That's not what DARPA does.<br><br>-Matt<br>

This is reminiscent of the time I brought up the valid points of creative design at a skeptical inquirer meeting. Haha... jk<br>
<br>
Actually- was this thread in itself an assessment? Like a dream inside a dream...<br>
