DARPA knows that soldiers need more than the
latest gadgets to fight effectively -- they need to stay healthy, too. Accordingly, it just launched a
Biological Technologies Office (BTO) to study how organics can help national defense. The division is working on projects that will keep troops
in top shape, monitor large-scale biological patterns (such as
viruses) and understand how natural processes can be put to work in both materials
and machines.
The agency doesn't yet know when the BTO will bear fruit, but it plans
to minimize ethical concerns by speaking to academic experts on a
regular basis.
