DARPA Seeking Urban Tunnels for R&D
DARPA Tweet for Urban Underground Space For Research and Experimentation Source: DARPA DARPA's Underground Challenge - US Defense Dept. Initiative This tweet sound like a search for a location for a science fiction movie. But it's from DARPA, the US Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, that is pursing its Subterranean Challenge.
