DARPA has its budget for 2014.
DARPA has several projects related cyber warfare defense and offense. (Big data and social network analysis, various cyber security research projects)
DARPA has a lot of projects related to medical care for wounded soldiers (better prosthetics)
DARPA has projects to rapidly detect, diagnose and counter biological attacks.
DARPA has several projects related to additive or rapid manufacturing (FANG, META, Materials Processing and Manufacturing)
Project Endurance - pod mounted lasers for drones and planes
FY 2013 13.5 million
FY 2014 23.5 million
The Endurance program will develop technology for pod-mounted lasers to protect a variety of airborne platforms from emerging and legacy EO/IR guided surface-to-air missiles.
Multifunctional Materials and Structures
FY 2013 18 million
FY 2014 24 million
Included in this thrust are efforts that will lower the weight and increase the performance of aircraft, enhance the efficiency of turbines, and improve the performance of surface dominated properties (friction, wear, and membrane permeability). New materials synthesis processes for thin films will also be explored to extend equipment lifetime and reduce logistics costs. In addition, reactive structures that can serve as both structure and explosive will be developed to decrease the weight and increase the performance of munitions
