REGINA E. DUGAN was sworn in as the 19th director of the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on July 20, 2009.
Founded in 1958 as a response to the Soviet Union’s launch of
Sputnik, DARPA’s mission is to prevent and create strategic surprise.
From its founding more than 50 years ago to current day, this mission
implies one imperative for the agency: radical innovation for national
security. Today, DARPA is the principal agency within the Department
of Defense for research, development, and demonstration of high-risk,
high-payoff projects for the current and future combat force.
Experienced in counterterrorism and defense against explosive
threats, Dr. Dugan first served the nation as a DARPA
program manager from 1996 to 2000. She directed a
diverse $100 million portfolio of programs including the
Dog’s Nose program, which focused on the development
of an advanced, field-portable system for detecting the
explosive content of land mines. In 1999, Dr. Dugan was
named DARPA Program Manager of the Year and, in
2000, she was awarded the prestigious Bronze de Fleury
Medal by the Army Engineer Regiment. Other recognition includes the
Office of the Secretary of Defense Award for Exceptional Service and
the Award for Outstanding Achievement.
Dr. Dugan’s contributions to the U.S. military are numerous. She
led a counterterrorism task force for the deputy secretary of defense
in 1999 and, from 2001 to 2003, she served as a special advisor to the
vice chief of staff of the Army, completing a Quick Reaction Study on
Countermine for Enduring Freedom. The results of this study were sub-
sequently briefed to joint senior military leadership and implemented in
the field.
Prior to her appointment as director of DARPA, Dr. Dugan co-
founded Dugan Ventures, a niche investment firm, where she served as
president and CEO. In 2005, Dugan Ventures founded RedXDefense
LLC, a privately held company devoted to innovative solutions for com-
bating explosive threats, where she also served as president and CEO.
