CQ Interviews: Dr. Tony Tether, K2TGE Director, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

摘要

What do stealth aircraft, the Saturn rocket, the Global Positioning System, and the internet have in common? They all got their start as projects of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is currently working on designing a driverless car. DARPA's Director, Dr. Tony Tether, K2TGE, credits the "life-changing" impact of ham radio with getting him started on the career that has led him to his current position. "It's hard to totally tell you specifically the impact ham radio has had on my life," Tether told CQ in an exclusive interview, "but I can tell you it was really major... it's probably what got me to go into college and become an electrical engineer."
