## What project DAT-07 buys

The DARPA Advanced Technology Development Support project contains management costs in support of DARPA functions and activities across the entire DARPA Advanced Technology Development PE. These costs include: DARPA classified and unclassified network support and equipment; contractor support; classified program security; building security; commercial transition services that increase the likelihood that DARPA-funded technologies remain in the U.S. and provide new capabilities for national defense; DARPA outreach to universities and industry; external contracting, financial and support fees; Program Manager Intragovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) Funding; Program Managers from other Government Agencies; and similar operating expenses. Agency support is allocated on a pro-rata basis across the Agency's BA1, BA2 and BA3 PEs and, therefore, fluctuates per PE by fiscal year based on the total Agency budget in that fiscal year. Prior to FY 2026, support requirements in this Project were funded in PE 0603766E, Projects NET-01 and NET-02, and PE 0603767E, Projects SEN-01 and SEN-02.
