Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, also known as DARPA, a State Owned entity headquartered in the US, was founded in 1958 and employs approximately 630 individuals. Operating within Defense and Space Manufacturing, the agency is responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the U.S. military.
On March 20, 2026, the US Army received its first autonomous-ready H-60Mx Black Hawk helicopter, capable of both autonomous and piloted flight. This achievement resulted from over a decade of development under the Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS) program, which originally designed a modular, removable kit to retrofit existing aircraft with advanced automation, enhancing safety and mission effectiveness. The groundbreaking H-60Mx Black Hawk now begins a rigorous testing phase, marking a pivotal moment in the Army's efforts to build a safer, smarter, and more versatile helicopter fleet. Earlier, on March 19, engineers backed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency pushed forward new technology for nuclear micro-batteries. These batteries aim to power sensors for months or years without maintenance in extreme environments such as deep oceans and outer space, addressing a critical need for long-term unattended operations.
