DARPA
- in 1969 received order for the construction of the Arpanet from -
RTX BBN Technologies
On April 7, 1969, Arpa awarded the order for the construction of a network to BBN Technologies. A small network of computers that were brought together as an interface message processor (IMP) and which were connected by gateways (today router) was built. The first data transfer took place on October 29, 1969 between computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Stanford Research Institute near San Francisco.

- Director (1962-1964) -
J. C. R. Licklider
In 1962, the director of the research department of the Ministry of Defense, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Arpa, later Darpa), offered Licklider to take over the "Command and Control Research" department and build up a behavioral research department, for which he was provided with a Q-32 from SDC. Licklider was also guaranteed for full autonomy for his research. He then moved to the Arpa in October 1962 and was now able to pursue his ideas for time sharing and human-machine interaction and propagate in government circles.
In 1973 Licklider returned to Darpa as head of the Ipto and looked after the outsourcing of the Arpanet from the Darpa, before switching again in 1975, where he ended his professional career.

- Program Manager (2011-2014) -
Kathleen Fisher
In 2011, Kathleen Fisher left AT&T Labs to become a program manager at DARPA. At DARPA, she founded and led the High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems (HACMS) and the Probabilistic Programming for Advancing Machine Learning (PPAML) programs. The HACMS program focused on using formal methods to protect military vehicles from hacking. The program used a red team of hackers who attempted to break into a quadcopter using any method short of a physical connection. Initially, the red team was able to quickly compromise the quadcopter, but by the end of the program, they were unable to break into the quadcopter at all. This program was a huge success and has since expanded to more complex vehicles such as Boeing's Unmanned Little Bird. Fisher left DARPA in July 2014 but continues to lead its ISAT study area.
