Delivering "DARPA hard"

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is synonymous with transformational change, developing the seeming impossible into the practical. Matthew van Adelsberg demonstrates how collaborative teams of SMEs, data scientists, and engineers have been organized to achieve DARPA hard results for nearly a decade and offers insights into how companies can do the same.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is synonymous with transformational change, developing seeming impossibilities into practical capabilities. DARPA has owned the critical mission of keeping the United States out front when it comes to cultivating breakthrough technologies and has become known as a laboratory and incubator of innovation. With teams in place at DARPA for nearly a decade, L-3 actively plays a role in that culture of innovation, taking on data-driven challenges classified as “DARPA hard.” So how do we approach these problems in order to consistently deliver next-gen solutions, from state-of-the-art anomaly detection and information fusion to realistic simulation environments at NASA? Chief data scientist Matthew van Adelsberg covers key concepts, including: Using several successful case studies, Matthew demonstrates application in action and discusses how every organization can deliver “DARPA hard.” This session is sponsored by L-3.
