The Advanced Research Projects Agency was formed with an emphasis towards
research, and thus was not oriented only to a military product. The formation of this
agency was part of the U.S. reaction to the then Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in
1957. (ARPA draft, III-6). ARPA was assigned to research how to utilize their
investment in computers via Command and Control Research (CCR). Dr. J.C.R.
Licklider was chosen to head this effort.
