• Understanding what Military and Commercial R&D
groups are doing today
• Are there better ways for Military R&D to leverage the
huge commercial R&D efforts?
• Are there better ways for Commercial R&D to
leverage Military R&D in developing the next
transformation?

Dr. Wayne Phoel joined DARPA in 2013 as a Program Manager for the Strategic Technology Office. His work focuses on developing technology to enable robust and resilient wireless networks for tactical users. The corresponding research seeks to provide the users with critical information when it is needed despite link and network dynamics, which can be due to either natural effects or actions of an advanced adversary. Prior to joining DARPA, Dr. Phoel performed original research in anti-jam radio frequency (RF) communications, and led the design and prototyping of protected satellite and airborne network technology.

Q&A Ground Rules:
• Mix of questions from the moderator and questions
from the audience
• Ask the panelists short questions
– Don’t pontificate
• Not all panelists need to respond to every question
– If they don’t have anything to add, they should not
• It’s OK to disagree but be respectful
