DARPA Deputy Director Peter Highnam, a former director of research at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, will assume the role of acting director until a permanent director is appointed. Highnam is also a former director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DARPA is responsible for driving development of emerging technologies for use by the military. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/video\/2019\/03\/25\/darpas-role-in-tech-development\/\" target=_blank>Walker and Vint Cerf, one of the creators of the internet, spoke to Defense News about that role in March<\/a>, and how DARPA can support engagement with the tech community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the key efforts launched under Walker\u2019s tenure at DARPA was development and fielding of the Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile, which was accomplished in half the time of a normal development program, DARPA noted in an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walker also reinvigorated the agency\u2019s hypersonic weapons and space efforts, with major programs in boost-glide and air-breathing missile development as well as distributed low-Earth orbit satellite constellations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also noted by the agency: Under Walker\u2019s leadership, DARPA launched the three-year, $1.5 billion Electronics Resurgence Initiative as well as the five-year, $2 billion AI Next program. Walker also \u201cmade pivotal investments in the realm of engineered biology, resulting in several breakthroughs, chief among them a program that has helped reduce Ebola fatality rates by more than 70 percent,\u201d the email stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walker succeeded Arati Prabhakar, who left the agency in January 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steven Walker, the 21st director of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has announced his resignation, effective Jan. 10,
