===Current program offices===
DARPA has six technical offices that manage the agency's research portfolio, and two additional offices that manage special projects.<ref>{{Cite web |title=DARPA Offices |url=https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices |access-date=May 6, 2023 |website=DARPA.mil}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Special Projects and Technology Transition |url=https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices/special-projects-technology-transition |access-date=May 6, 2023 |website=DARPA.mil}}</ref>  All offices report to the DARPA director, including:
* The [[Defense Sciences Office|Defense Sciences Office (DSO)]]: DSO identifies and pursues high-risk, high-payoff research initiatives across a broad spectrum of science and engineering disciplines and transforms them into important, new game-changing technologies for U.S. national security. Current DSO themes include novel materials and structures, sensing and measurement, computation and processing, enabling operations, collective intelligence, and global change.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Defense Sciences Office (DSO) |url=https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices/dso |access-date=May 21, 2023 |website=darpa.mil}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.darpa.mil/DSO/ |title=DARPA/DSO Home Page |date=2 December 1998 |access-date=6 June 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981202153000/http://www.darpa.mil/DSO/ |archive-date=2 December 1998 }}</ref> 
* The [[Information Innovation Office|Information Innovation Office (I2O)]] aims to ensure U.S. technological superiority in all areas where information can provide a decisive military advantage.
* The [[Microsystems Technology Office|Microsystems Technology Office (MTO)]] core mission is the development of high-performance, intelligent microsystems and next-generation components to ensure U.S. dominance in Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Directed Energy (DE). The effectiveness, survivability, and lethality of systems that relate to these applications depend critically on microsystems and components.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) |url=https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/offices/mto |access-date=May 6, 2023 |website=DARPA.mil}}</ref>
* The [[Strategic Technology Office (DARPA)|Strategic Technology Office (STO)]] mission is to focus on technologies that have a global theater-wide impact and that involve multiple Services.<ref name="darpa.mil">{{cite web |url=http://www.darpa.mil/offices.html |title=DARPA &#124; Offices |access-date=2009-11-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091015051855/http://www.darpa.mil/offices.html |archive-date=2009-10-15 }} DARPA Offices.

* The [[Tactical Technology Office (DARPA)|Tactical Technology Office (TTO)]] engages in high-risk, high-payoff advanced military research, emphasizing the "system" and "subsystem" approach to the development of aeronautic, space, and land systems as well as embedded processors and control systems
* The [[Biological Technologies Office (DARPA)|Biological Technologies Office (BTO)]] fosters, demonstrates, and transitions breakthrough fundamental research, discoveries, and applications that integrate biology, engineering, and computer science for national security. Created in April 2014 by then Director [[Arati Prabhakar]], taking programs from the MTO and DSO offices.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2014-04-01|title=DARPA Launches Biological Technologies Office |date=1 April 2014 |website=Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency}}</ref>
