Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS)

Excerpt ... thinkLets(cc):
In the area of information processing, DARPA made great strides, initially through the development of time-sharing (all modern operating systems are descendants of the Multics system, which resulted from the work started by DARPA in this area), and later through the evolution of the ARPANET (a telecommunications network and precursor to the Internet), and research in the artificial intelligence (AI) fields of speech recognition and signal processing.

DARPA also funded the development of NLS and the Aspen Movie Map,
which was probably the first hypermedia system and an important precursor of virtual reality.

From 1976-1981, DARPA's major thrusts were dominated by air, land, sea, and space technology, such as follow-on forces attack with standoff weapons and associated Command, Control, and Communications; tactical armor and anti-armor programs; infrared remote sensing for space-based surveillance; high-energy laser technology for space-based missile defense; antisubmarine warfare systems; advanced cruise missiles; advanced aircraft; and defense applications of advanced computing ...
