Scenarios about 'DARPA'
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, established in 1958 as the United States' response to the Soviet Sputnik launch. DARPA has been responsible for developing emerging technologies for military use, including pivotal innovations like the internet (ARPANET), GPS, stealth technology, and autonomous vehicles. In alternate history scenarios, DARPA often serves as a focal point for technological divergence, where different research priorities or funding levels could dramatically alter military capabilities and civilian technologies.
