DARPA Demo Day provides the DoD community with an up-close look at the Agency's diverse portfolio of innovative technologies and military systems at various stages of development and readiness, spanning every military domain from undersea to outer space and across all of DARPA's strategic focus areas, from sensors and microsystems to cyber and spectrum to biological technologies and counterterrorism. More than 80 exhibits will be on display.
All Pentagon badge holders are welcome, as are visiting U.S. Government civilian/military CAC holders and blue Intelligence Community badge holders. These individuals can receive a temporary, no-escort-required badge by checking in at the Pentagon Visitor's Center near the Metro Entrance.
