The first is that DARPA should remain a relatively small, flexible, and flat organization relying on a technically astute staff of program managers borrowed for 3 to 5 years from industry, universities, government laboratories, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs)

For example, because fixed facilities create inertia and prevent DARPA from putting its money where the needs and opportunities exist, it prefers to execute most programs through open, competitive procurements. Where appropriate, program managers employ government laboratories m a variety of ways, but they enjoy no permanent or incumbent status.

From page 76... ...
While program managers understand that requirements capture important elements of a product's function, they often see that they frequently limit innovation, produce inefficiencies, and protect the status quo because they are defined m terms of the presumed product, not a statement of need. As a result, DARPA often stretches, ignores, bypasses, or seeks changes m the requirements that exist at the outset of programs.

Are the programmatic details clear? DARPA depends upon an extremely energetic set of bright program managers to answer these questions and arrive at solutions to other related problems, like community c oordi n all on.

This included formation flying with communications losses, planning and decision-making systems, final air vehicle design, mcorporation into simulation for joint exercises, and final end-to-end demonstrations in Service and joint exercises. The UCAV concept was sufficiently interesting that by 2000 the Navy realized it, too, needed to join the Air Force and become involved.
