The overall assessment was derived from a set of detailed case studies of DARPA program areas that were identified as being major factors in the RMA. Volume II documents the individual case studies of the technology areas that were the basis of the overall assessment.The authors wish to thank John Jennings, the DARPA task manager for this project, for his detailed review and comments on all of the chapters in this volume. His review led to greatly improved clarity on our part in both depicting the flow of technology development and the roles of various organizations and individuals in this flow. He also provided a superb sounding board for the observations and conclusions we draw as to the factors that either fostered or impeded the movement of these technologies into military application.For each chapter the individual authors interviewed numerous participants in the development and the management of specific technologies and their applications.Throughout these chapters we cite interviews from many of these individuals who were most forthcoming and generous with their time. Some of these individuals provided insights and details about several technology thrusts and applications in which they were directly involved in overseeing-especially former Secretary of Defense and former
