DARPA's N3 Program: Developing Nonsurgical Brain-Machine Interfaces for Military Applications

3d ago· 2 min readenNews

Summary

DARPA's Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program aims to develop high-performance, bi-directional brain-machine interfaces that do not require surgery, for use by able-bodied service members. The technology would enable national security applications such as controlling unmanned aerial vehicles, active cyber defense, and multitasking during complex military missions, replacing current state-of-the-art neural interfaces that require surgical electrode implantation.

The Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program aims to develop high-performance, bi-directional brain-machine interfaces for able-bodied service members.

Such interfaces would be enabling technology for diverse national security applications such as control of unmanned aerial vehicles and active cyber defense systems or teaming with computer systems to successfully multitask during complex military missions.

Whereas the most effective, state-of-the-art neural interfaces require surgery to implant electrodes into the brain, N3 technology would not require surgery and would be man-p
