NSA is not part of the Defense Department.
Doesn't mean they won't reap the benefits of this DARPA project, but it's unlikely that they are making it for them.
I can think of a heck of a lot of things that the DoD could use this tech for: reading your PgP emails isn't one of them.
Reading Ahmadinejad's, Kim's, or BinLaden's on the other hand would be very useful.
But just off the top of my head, what could we use such a powerful, compact computer for? Hmmmm. . .
*Server consolidation for field command-control centers
*Tactical and targeting computers for various vehicles (Tanks, aircraft, etc)
*Control systems for lighter, more mobile Ballistic Missile Defense systems (The present ones are mounted on converted Oil Derricks - Be nice to mount one on, say, a truck. Or a Destroyer.)
I could probably think of half-a-dozen more if I wasn't pulling a 36-hour-plus day right now in an attempt to get my sleep schedule back on track after two weeks of midshift.
But since I can't, I'll leave that as an exercise for you.
Just remember: The US Military does not normally operate domestically, and is forbidden to take action against US Citizens unless actually under combat conditions without Presidential Authorization, which is only given on a case-by-case basis.
If the boys in the Pentagon Basement are asking Obama if they can read your email, You are doing some seriously BAD shit.
