Bradford C. Tousley, Director
Briefing prepared for Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) Industry Day
November 6, 2013
1 Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was established in 1958 to prevent strategic surprise from negatively affecting U.S. national security and create strategic surprise for U.S. adversaries by maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military.
To fulfill its mission, the Agency relies on diverse performers to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to both advance knowledge through basic research and create innovative technologies that address current practical problems through applied research.
As the DoD’s primary innovation engine, DARPA undertakes projects that are finite in duration but that create lasting revolutionary change.

Sputnik
34th President of the United States 1953-1961.
Coined the term “military-industrial complex” and warned against its unwarranted influence.
Created DARPA in response to Sputnik.
First orbiting satellite. The satellite was not a threat, but the level of technology indicated that the Soviet Union possessed superior capability for intercontinental reconnaissance and bombing.

Airborne Launch Assist Space Access (ALASA) aims to enables access to space on tactical time scales launched from existing globally distributed airfields.
The Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) reusable vehicle capability will aim to provide approaches to an alternate cost effective means for space access.
Collectively the space portfolio is supporting responsiveness and cost reduction of launch through ground base systems.
