ARDA

Information Technology Advanced Research and Development Activity.

Also from the New Scientist article:

"According to a report entitled Data Mining and Homeland Security, published by the Congressional Research Service in January, ARDA's role is to spend NSA money on research that can "solve some of the most critical problems facing the US intelligence community". Chief among ARDA's aims is to make sense of the massive amounts of data the NSA collects - some of its sources grow by around 4 million gigabytes a month."

Note: ARDA's website was taken down in 2005. This organization has since been replace by the Disrputive Technology Office.
