Connecting and protecting people
Engineering, Operations & Technology
100 years ago…
. . . Connecting and protecting people now
Engineering, Operations & Technology
“If rate of new knowledge is 4 times as fast, then planning for 2031 today is the
equivalent of being in 1890 trying to plan for 2006”

Critical Questions for Research Proposals
•
As director of ARPA in the 1970’s George H. Heilmeier developed a set of
questions that he expected every proposal for a new research program to
answer. He referred to them as the "Heilmeier Catechism". These
questions still survive at DARPA and provide high level guidance for what
information a proposal should provide.
1. What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely
no jargon. What is the problem? Why is it hard?
2. How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?
3. What's new in your approach and why do you think it will be
successful?
4. Who cares?
5. If you're successful, what difference will it make? What impact will
success have? How will it be measured?
6. What are the risks and the payoffs?
7. How much will it cost?
8. How long will it take?
9. What are the midterm and final "exams" to check for success? How
will progress be measured?

Our Goal is to Partner to Define the Future of Aerospace...
Engineering, Operations & Technology
…and government agencies and schools of higher education will play an
important role in helping Boeing meet this exciting challenge.
