darpa's role traces back to the late '60s where some of the folks at darpa had this crazy idea we might want to connect computers together. computers were these massive beasts of machines. and the first was darpa net. the first idea was could you share these resources. and also at darpa, in our part of this story was the people who wrote the first protocols that essentially defined the internet. but al gore played an incredibly important role after that as to the national science foundation in getting it from the research community out to the whole rest of the world. >> now you generously gave walter isackson a great deal of credit. walter, whom you saw earlier here wrote a book called "the innovators." and you said finally someone got the story right. >> yeah, i got that book for christmas. i was reading it. it's a wonderful book by walter. and there is this chant they're delineates this marvelous story of how the internet went from a research project to something that changed all of our lives. i started reading it out loud for my husband who had been a staffer for al gore. it was so w

but if you're not willing to take the risk, that's why one of our main customers is darpa. we spent a lot of time with darpa trying to understand how do we take risks to change the game and how do we create a culture where our people can learn all the time and are constantly learning with agility. >> i think that's right. so jamie, you've heard a number of us prost no-- prognosticatin. i'm interested on your thoughts on the innovation agenda within the building and your read from your vantage point. >> well, your dress code today is a good jumping off point for that because in the pentagon we are capable of wearing casual clothes but we require written instruction if we're going to do it. [ laughter ] my only regret is you didn't provide written instruction. >> i'm sorry. actually, no one told me this was okay or not okay, this is just how i dress. >> so that's actual innovation. it's a great question and i feel like we are starting down a path towards the buzz word of innovation but it's a buzz word made up of a bunch of individual choices, a bunch of individual actions, a

arati: the role traces back to the late '60s when some of the darpa, connecting these machines that ofy expensive. i don't know where those came idea was the first could you share these resources. also, at darpa and our part of that story and the people who wrote the first protocols that essentially defined the internet. an incrediblyayed important role after that as to the national science foundation research it from the community out to the whole rest of the world. steve: you generously gave walter isaacson a great deal of credit, who wrote a book called "the innovators" and you said finally someone got the story right. arati: i got that book for christmas and i was reading it, and it's a wonderful book by alter, and it's a chapter that delineates this marvelous story of how the internet went from a research project to something all of our lives, and i started reading it out loud to my husband who had staffer for al gore and it was just so wonderful to see that story come out loud and clear. it was terrific. steve: i dug in ask done some research and realized, because i wonder if you

some of the technology is darpa technology. walk us through this. no one else had this technology. you guys are thehe only ones on the market that have i it. guest: we are. when we undertook the initiatite with the navy to create product that could replace fluorescent lamps, what was most important was the safety. we could not alter the way in whicthe navy changes lamps. these are, in lot of cases, 18-year-old sailors. under their maintenance program, they simply remove the cover and change t the lamp. of f the navy cod not wonder, what happens if we have a starter? what occasion shou the sailor have? we had to let the navy b be t te navy. we had to develop a smart technology. the product is completely intelligent. what does that mean? it will work with the current starteter. if the starter is not present, it will still wo. itthe valve is not present, will still wor it recognizes its job and adjust so you getet the savings that yu need, that you require. vago: and you can't electrocute yourself. guest: and you can't electrocute yourself, which is probably the number onvalue everyon

so it's especially relevant nowadays, the one year anniversary of the following of darpa. the idea of families not being family. doesdoes that mean if you not going to qualify for something. how we going to be bold with community members who have been excluded the people who have always been criminalized, the stories of black immigrant people who are at the crosshairs of both forms. [applause] >> hello, everybody. i am heavily involved in the muslim community. so ii just want to talk about this more from the perspective of how the impact affects the use specifically.you specifically. i do a lot of work with muslim youth and adults. and a lot of this is manifested itself. i have my muslim identity and are grappling understand how i could have both. completely unnatural. they are not juxtaposed ideas. but a lot of the times we times we see our youth experiencing this and it reflects itself in feeling fear and anxiety were feeling that they would rather should the muslim identity shed their otherness. and i guess we'll really exemplified this for me was while i was at the uni

right now there is a program in darpa, i think it's called alice but i'm not come on startup it's not alice. that's a logistics system but it is a system designed specifically to have enough automation to allow you to reduce the number of crew in the cockpit at any given time. so that is what assisted human operations were leaning. and it will not be long i guarantee before combat infantryman in when the using wearable electronics with a loadable combat apps and heads-up displays of their own. the fourth integrated is what we refer to as advanced human machine combat teaming. human machine collaboration is using machines to decision makers make better decisions. human machine combat teaming is where a human working with unmanned systems are able to do cooperative operations. you already see a lot of this happening right now. the army's apache is designed to operate together to the navy's aircraft and the triton uav are designed to operate together. we are actively looking at a large number of very, very advanced things. right now look at a large capacity you use these the cascade medi

scientists and engineers that i spoke with, almost all of them are incredibly gung ho and talk about how darpa find the solutions to things and allow scientists to push science in a way that the industry bosses would not allow them to. but thinking of the future, they like to say they make the future happen. >> a look at some of the books amazon recommends. teesixteen has covered all of these authors command you can watch the full programs on our website, teethirteen. >> nurse and new york times columnist teresa brown is next. discussing about the shift in which she talks about healthcare vendor firsthand experience in patient care and safety, interviewed by deborah hat maker. ..

i think relevant nowdays one year anniversary of the falling of darpa, and the idea of families not families but -- if you're not going to qualify for something, you're automatically a felon. how are we going to be bold and uplift the voices' community members who have been slide from these provisions? how do we open up the numbers of people who have always been criminalized, black people. how to do weapon the stories of black immigrant people who are at the crosshairses of both forms of enforcement? >> hello, everybody. my name is -- i'm honored to be here tonight. i am very heavily involved in the muslim community. my mom would say too much so. i guess shies talk about this more from the perspective of how the impact affects the youth specifically because i do a lot of work with muslim youth and muslim young adults, and a lot of these policies and things we have been talking about thus far have kind of manifested itself in the youth in a way that, okay, i have my muslim identity and i have my american identity and i'm grappling to understand how i can have both, and to think that's tutly c

we reviewed work by darpa on what they were doing.nducted the strategic portfolio review to look at our program and say where are we missing these capabilities. when you consider the whole body of work. and you have been diagrams there was remarkable consistency. that gives us the confidence that we know the first step to take. this is not about certainty, it is about testing and moving forward. the theme is human machine collaboration and combat teaming. the miniaturization of nuclear weapons components was the key driver of the first offset. look at fat boy and you say how do you get that down to a football sized munition called the davy crockett. we were going to give it to our battalion commanders and give them nuclear release capability in 1956. the technology allowed us to do it if we were so disposed. the key drivers in the second offset first appeared in 1972. sensors and combat capabilities onboard platforms as well as information technologies. what is going to make this a reality? advances in intelligence and autonomy that w

this is not a darpa problem.here are plenty of examples and plenty of exemplars that exist in the private sector today that would solve 99% of this problem which is what makes it so maddening when charlie says we have been doing it for more than a decade and others have participated in this. we have the solution set out there. doug has created an extraordinary program at lockheed martin. they have gone through the hoops and the lawyers have looked at it and figured out how to handle the privacy issue and looked at the key technologies. u.s. government just went and took tlt lockheed model we would be more secure today than we were yesterday. and there are a lot of -- credit card companies have been doing this for decades. financial institutions have been doing this for decades. this is not gee, we have to figure out how to get to the moon. and we need to copy it effectively and a lot of companies would be able to do that. what is the critical need? simple, it's leadership. we need to get senior leaders involved i
