A curious fact about DARPA: both the directors and the Program Managers are there only briefly. It’s not relying continually on particular unique individuals. Eg: https://www.darpa.mil/attachments/DARPA_Directors_Sheet_20201.pdf …
I was thinking particularly of the first three directors, Licklider, Sutherland, and Taylor.
