👉 The Arms Project was a U.S. government initiative aimed at developing and producing advanced, stealthy, and highly destructive weapons systems, primarily focusing on hypersonic missiles, directed energy weapons, and advanced cyber capabilities. Initiated in the early 2000s by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the project sought to maintain a technological edge in military capabilities by investing heavily in cutting-edge research and development. The goal was to create systems that could evade current missile defense networks, deliver precision strikes with minimal collateral damage, and disrupt enemy communications and command structures. Despite its ambitious scope and significant funding, the project faced numerous challenges, including technical hurdles, budget overruns, and shifting national security priorities, ultimately leading to its cancellation in 2005.
