Yeah, exactly. A lot of research done on DARPA grants is only tangentially related to military applications. For instance, our lab gets half our funding from DARPA and we work on general-purpose CPUs and vector accelerators. You can't get NSF funding for ambitious long-term research projects. They just don't have the budget for it.
