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 ...
