BACKGROUND DARPA's mission is to maintain the technological superiority of the U.S. military, prevent technological surprise from harming our national security, and to create technological surprise by sponsoring revolutionary, high payoff research that bridges the gap between fundamental discoveries and their military use. The DARPA mission is also to create technological surprise for our adversaries. This implies the need for imperative-radical innovation for national security. The DARPA business philosophy is to bring in expert entrepreneurial program managers for the technical programs, empower them, protect them from red tape, and to quickly make decisions about starting, continuing or stopping research projects. The DARPA Security and Intelligence Directorate (SID) supports the mission by planning, executing, and directing the security and intelligence programs at DARPA. The SID Vision is to provide exceptional mission enabling security, intelligence, international and emergency management services and capabilities by delivering innovative risk managed solutions to maximize effective mission accomplishment. SID formulates and implements security policy and procedures at DARPA and represents DARPA on security matters with external organizations. The SID Mission is to develop, manage and implement programs that facilitate the secure and successful accomplishment of the DARPA mission, while protecting DARPA personnel, information, property, and ensuring business continuity. SID Objectives are to provide world-class service to each of our customers; to establish credible security policy and procedures; to be responsive to technical program needs in a timely manner; to represent the DARPA interests in National Security Forums; and above all, to protect our people and information. The SID Challenge is to accomplish the mission and objectives while mirroring the DARPA business philosophy.
