Black Budgets (new here)

Hi, I'm very curious about these black budgets, due to the fact that I'm putting together an assignment on this subject, here in Denmark (Europe) where I reside. Surely, I've read some articles on this subject and I'm also currently reading Tim Weiners "Blanc Check". But what stroke me was, that I saw someone here mention something about "company funded research". Let me quote the post here:

Not everything is under DARPA and the CIA, NSA, and NRO do not operate under the U.S. Military. What has happened more recently is that defense contractors do what they call company funded research, this way it's impossible to trace money to specific research initives.


Could anyone be so kind to explain this in detail? Anyone have any knowledge on this matter? It would be of great help - like every other information available on this site.

Thanks!
