While that has allowed Moscow to test out new capabilities and techniques, it also provides an opportunity to develop counter techniques \u2014 which may benefit the U.S. and its allies in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think we\u2019ve got to get better, as a country, in information warfare and how we approach info warfare,\u201d Walker said. \u201cI think there are capabilities there that we need to improve upon, and DAPRA is working in some of those areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not the first tie between DARPA and Kiev. The Ukrainian government has hired Tony Tether, who led DARPA for the entirety of the George. W. Bush administration, to help lead a reorganization of their science and technology efforts, something Tether in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/darpa-ukraine-tony-tether\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn post<\/a> said was necessary in part because so much of Ukraine\u2019s S&amp;T facilities were in the territory seized by Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former DARPA head has also consulted for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2018\/02\/13\/head-of-ukrainian-defense-firm-ukroboronprom-steps-down\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Ukroboronprom group<\/a>, Ukraine\u2019s largest defense contractor, and just a few weeks ago was added to the group\u2019s supervisory board in a move that Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko <a href=\"\/TEMP-LINK-TEMP\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\">called<\/a> a \u201csymbol of effective cooperation between Ukrainian and American partners.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tether is expected to try and recreate some of what make DARPA so successful in Ukraine, but Walker notes that many countries have tried to do that \u2014 and failed, in large part due to a cultural fear of giving workers the freedom to fail they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I talk to others about DARPA and why it works, many other cultures say \u2018this couldn\u2019t happen,\u2019\u201d Walker noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More broadly, Walker said part of what he wants to see at DARPA during his tenure is looking at increasing counterinsurgency capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think as more populations across the world move to larger and larger cities, we need to understand the three dimensionality of cites and how to operate in those very crowded, very three-dimensional spaces,\u201d Walker said, noting DARPA is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/it-networks\/2017\/11\/27\/darpa-wants-an-ear-to-the-underground\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">working on ways<\/a> to sense and map underground tunnels and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i><b>Updated 3\/1\/18 at 1:45 PM EST to reflect the fact that after publication, DARPA confirmed that Walker visited Ukraine in 2016.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon&#8217;s famous high-tech weapons office is working with Ukraine&#8217;s government on information-related
