Microsystems Technology Office
The Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) is one of seven current organizational divisions of DARPA, an agency responsible for the development of new technology for the United States Armed Forces. It is sometimes referred to as the Microelectronics Technology Office.
The office focuses on development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS),[1] electronics,[2] algorithms,[3] systems architecture,[4] and photonics.[5]
History
MTO was established by Arati Prabhakar.[6] It is currently led by Director Dr. Mark Rosker.[7]
