And she is a great storyteller, making the tantalizing tale of The Pentagon's Brain -- from the depths of the Cold War to present day -- come alive on every page. About the Author. Each section held amazing information such as the hydrogen bomb information in the first section and the three foot cement walls that warbled like jello. Techniques Off.

She explores the implications of DARPA work on technology that will not be widely known to the public for generations but will certainly impact national security and concepts of war. She overall does not vilify DARPA only cites Eisenhower's admonishment to beware the military-industrial - academic complex. The military services, however, were adamantly opposed. Annie did an amazing job of telling a story while educating you on a fascinating subject.

Know this, the R and D offices of the Military do not have the mandate to find a way to make wounded veterans whole again, their job is advanced weapons and war winning strategy Couple that with brain and cyborg research and it should give you some idea of where the agency is going. Without laser-guided technology, the sensors were dropped hundreds, sometimes thousands of feet wide of the trail. Nov 17, Joe rated it it was ok. Rows of teeth. But the whole book is laced with the author's storytelling speculation and extreme liberal bias. Good book. North American Hi To write a book like this required a ton of research and interviewing people and I give the author a ton of credit. I recommend the book over an audiobook unless you have a g I listened to the audiobook while traveling 32 hours door-to-door from Africa to the U. DARPA has been the driving force behind some of the most revolutionary concepts in civilian life and the battlefield. I'm not sure whether to be comforted or terrified that we have a team like DARPA in the Pentagon dreaming up all kinds of wild things for the industrial military complex. This is suggested by the creation of prosthetic limbs that are lightweight and easy to use along with artificial intelligence that is supposed to mimic the human brain and so on. But as you get to the end of this book, and you get to what direction DARPA seems to be taking, the hints of what may be behind the closed door of Defence Advanced Research and Development Projects could make what has been relegated until now to the field of Science Fiction could become disturbingly real and sooner than we think.

In fairness, the first round of ARPA social scientists found that the Strategic Hamlets were alienating peasants, but their findings were simply rejected by Pentagon leaders and more amenable researchers hired. Oct 19, Wilson rated it really liked it Shelves: information-warfare , nonfiction , military-strategy. No book about DARPA is going to tell us much about what they are currently working on -- most likely things like underwater robotics, Artificial Intelligence, cyber-warfare advance Dr. Another is a history of Area 51, which may be the best known and most notorious American military base in existence. View 2 comments. A lot of the main ideas of DARPA have been focused on waging war and lowering the count of casualties on our side. The Pentagons Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, Americas Top-Secret Military Research Agency Writer One answers the question: What happened to John Poindexter? We learn more about the initial purpose of weapons like Agent Orange, the chemical defoliant critical to the counterinsurgency.

She does not provide or even consider an Org chart. The audio, narrated by the author, was over 18 hours and never failed to put me to sleep. This idea—that rivalry fosters excellence and is imperative for supremacy—would become a hallmark of U. It's really a bit frightening to realize how many of the scientific advances in psychology and human Wow - I thought I would go into this book with plenty of fore-knowledge and spend most of the reading going, "Yes, I am so well- informed that I already knew all of these 'secret' things - ha ha! The part that I enjoyed most about this book was the 'factoids'. Published in , everything mentioned in this book have been declassified for the public. Instead, it was a frightening insight into what may have been occurring for the past odd years at the secretive base. In order to stay at the forefront of technology for the US military and government, DARPA needs relative freedom to forecast the needs of the future. The discussion of artificial intelligence towards the end of the book was particularly enjoyable. He's quite detailed in what he considers egregious errors. Anthropologists, and their professional society, and social sciences join the biologists as the new kids on the scientific block started by physicists.

Average rating 3. That is what it is for. Large Print. It works with secrets and a lot of things that might not be cool to know too much about. The reason this isn't a Five Star is first in Chapter 20 she mentions Edward Snowden being a "whistleblower". She could easily have said twice as much and I would have retained thrice as much with a good editor. The Pentagons Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA, Americas Top-Secret Military Research Agency Reviews Hell even if a quarter of it is true, it's chilling. Lasers and drones are examined to an extent with some of that information being still classified so then of course the whole story can't be given. America Back on Track. The U.

Emergency Plans What's Inside. In the first-ever history about the organization, New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen draws on inside sources, exclusive interviews, private documents, and declassified memos to paint a picture of DARPA, or "the Pentagon's brain," from its Cold War inception in to the present. Trivia About The Pentagon's Br Brain Wars That fantastic, seemingly impossible ideas can inspire people like Charles Townes to invent things that totally transform the world. What always makes me hesitate to read them is the political persuasion of the author. I would have to do more research in this area to see if I agree or not. The Army, Air Force, and Navy were unwilling to give up control of the research and development that was going on inside their individual services, most notably in the vast new frontier that was space. There is something in every section and before I finished the book, I found myself going back and forth to reread points and happenings. So then I saw she'd put out another book. It was far less evil sounding it was overblown. Then taking the limbs and placing them back into their sealed containers and the vaults of DARPA once the cameras are turned off. I have only ever been really impressed with one other history book before but this one beats them all. It's hard to believe that this is public information. IED War This is the book on DARPA -- a compelling narrative about this clandestine intersection of science and the American military and the often frightening results. He was hired to research and develop command and control systems, most of which were related to nuclear weapons at the time.

Transition Plans Needed to Realize Gains From DOD Advanced Resewch . United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20648 Information Management and Technology Division B-238018 February 14,199O The Honorable Edward M. Kennedy Chairman, Subcommittee on Projection Forces and Regional Defense Committee on Armed Services United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: Your office requested that we (1) describe research efforts underway by the Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on innovative submarine technologies, (2) assess plans for tran- sitioning the research to the Navy for further development and imple- mentation on submarines, and (3) determine whether the Navy is planning flexibility into the SSN-21 SEAWOLF attack submarine and its combat system to incorporate these technologies. DARPA serves as the central research organization for the Department of Defense, performing various research projects designed to address many hardware, software, and technological issues facing the military today. Congress established the Advanced Submarine Technology Program (AWP) in December 1987, to be executed by the Secretary of Defense through the Director of DARPA. The program was set up in light of the declining United States advantage in submarine technology. Congress directed that the ASTP program should explore innovative state-of-the- art technologies and establish a submarine technology base. The Congress has appropriated $303 million for ASTPfor fiscal years 1988 through 1990. As of December 1989, DARPA had obligated $194 million and expended an estimated $117 million.’ Under the ASW program, DARPA is conducting technology research that could significantly improve submarine performance and increase the U.S.
