Background/History of the Laboratory:
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) provides America's
soldiers the technological edge through scientific
research, technology development, and analysis. We provide scientific and technological innovation in
a variety of
technical disciplines, through direct in-house laboratory efforts and joint programs with government,
industry, and
academia. We also analyze the performance of existing developmental weapon systems, with emphasis on
factors such as survivability, lethality, man-machine interface, and battlefield environmental effects.
To remain at
the cutting edge of technology, we must maintain a wide range of resources. Among the most important
of these
resources are our facilities. We are able to conduct highly advanced and specialized research at our
facilities
because of their unique and sometimes one-of-a- kind features.
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.
