DARPA Issues Call For Computer Science Devotees 80
coondoggie writes "The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for a few good university-based computer science researchers who might be interested in developing systems for the US military. The move is seen, in part anyway, as a way for the agency to win more hearts and minds of the advanced science community."

Actually, they are not always looking for research on new weapons. Sometimes, they're looking for other stuff.
This book [amazon.com] offers a keen insight into Darpa. While their research is pursued with the military in mind, it's not all about weapons. The chapter on limb research is a fascinating counter-example, as is the part on auto-surgeons. Of course, the author got permission to explore mostly the popular stuff : as a PR job, it's better to show off your ability to help rather than your capacity to maim.
