Background/History of the Laboratory:
Five of the ten directorates of the Army Research Laboratory (ARL)
are currently located at Aberdeen Proving
Ground, Md. Three of these Directorates, the Advanced Computational and Inforamtional Sciences Directorate,
the
Weapons Technology Directorate, and the Survivability/Lethality Analysis Directorate, comprised the
Army's
Ballistic Research Laboratory prior to the creation of ARL. The Human Research and Engineering Directorate,
formerly the Human Engineering Laboratory, and the Materials Directorate (created from the Materials
Testing
Laboratory) are also located at Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Mission of the Laboratory:
Provide professional acquisition support to the Army Research Laboratory's mission
to execute fundamental
and applied research to provide the Army the technologies and analytical support necessary to assure
supremacy in future land warfare.
