The ARPA Electronic Systems Technology Office (ESTO) Home Page
The strategic thrust of the Electronic Systems Technology Office (ESTO) of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) is electronic systems technology. R&D efforts seek to achieve smaller, lighter, more mobile information systems. ESTO pursues fundamental change by investing across the full maturity range from basic research in key sciences and technologies to selected technology insertions into existing military platforms. ESTO seeks both technology products (displays, packages, actuators, and analog integrated circuits) and processes (manufacturing, prototyping, infrastructure and computer-aided design).
