On #ArmedForcesDay, we celebrate the teamwork and resilience of our military community.
At ARL, we work side by side with our armed forces to develop solutions that meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. Together, we are stronger.
Thank you to all who serve.
ARL is unlocking the power of performance data to enhance Soldier lethality and readiness.
ARL fundamental researchers created a secure database that enables the analysis of training performance data. For the first time, researchers and leaders have the opportunity to transform Combat Training Centers data into actionable insights—optimizing readiness, decision-making, and resource allocation across the force.
“Analyzing training contributes to saving lives on the real battlefield,”said Ronald Holben, ARL program manager. “This data serves to improve unit awareness, Soldiers’ preparedness, confidence and lethality.”
ARL is paving the way for a data-driven Army—providing researchers increased opportunities for integrating experimentation with artificial intelligence tools

Academia and Industry are invited to attend a virtual Industry Day on Thursday, May 7, 9:30–11:30 a.m. EDT, to learn about the upcoming DEVCOM Army Research Office Trusted Partner Program, a new academic initiative to accelerate priority scientific innovation for warfighters and enable research at the highest levels of security.
The program will select trusted partners, including leading universities, non-profit research institutes, and federally funded R&D centers, through a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract. Selected organizations will be uniquely positioned to rapidly initiate and execute sensitive research projects across a wide range of scientific disciplines in alignment with Army priorities.
More information about Industry Day and how to register is available on sam.gov.

ARL’s Catalyst Pathfinder program is driving bottom-up innovation at the Joint Readiness Training Center, empowering Soldiers to create mission-specific solutions in the field.
“By integrating Soldier-driven experimentation into the innovation process, the program is transforming the Army’s culture and ensuring that its most critical capability gaps are addressed by those closest to the challenges,” said Dr. Arwen DeCostanza, Catalyst Pathfinder program manager at DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory.
The program is integrating Soldier-driven technologies into large-scale combat operations, supporting both rotational units and the Opposing Force.

As the Month of the Military Child comes to a close, we at the Army Research Laboratory are especially proud of the military children in our lives and in our communities.
They are the next generation of innovators and leaders. Their curiosity and resilience inspire our work to create a safer and more technologically advanced future for all!
ARL and the Virginia Army National Guard’s 116th Mobile Brigade Combat Team kicked off a collaboration to advance electronic warfare capabilities.
“By grounding research in Soldier experience, this collaboration will help accelerate the science needed to improve the range, runtime, and reliability of future Army EW systems,” said Dr. Matt Glasscott, ARO program manager and lead for the effort.
The event marked the beginning of a multi-year effort to address operational challenges faced by Soldiers in the field and to enhance the performance of an Army electronic warfare and signals intelligence system designed to provide Brigade Combat Teams with advanced capabilities to detect, identify, locate, and disrupt enemy communications and electronic signals.
