The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is the U.S. Army's corporate research laboratory. ARL is headquartered at the Adelphi Laboratory Center (ALC) in Adelphi, Maryland. Its largest single site is at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Other major ARL locations include Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, Orlando, Florida, and NASA's Glenn Research Center, Ohio and Langley Research Center, Virginia. In addition to the Army Research Office, ARL has six technical directorates: Computational and Information Sciences, Human Research and Engineering, Sensors and Electron Devices, Survivability/Lethality Analysis , Vehicle Technology, Weapons and Materials Research.

Army project may advance quantum materials, efficient communication networks

“A U.S. Army project exploring novel applications of superconducting resonators has discovered these systems may be used to simulate quantum materials impossible to otherwise fabricate. Additionally, they may provide insights to open and fundamental questions in quantum mechanics and …

Army project develops agile scouting robots

“In a research project for the U.S. Army, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley developed an agile robot, called Salto that looks like a Star Wars Imperial walker in miniature and may be able to aid in scouting …

Army researchers make giant leap in quantum sensing

“Scientists at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory are developing a new quantum sensor using atoms excited to unusually high energy levels. The research community is also experiencing “high energy and excitement” thinking about the new technological possibilities this discovery …

Army scientists create new technique for modeling turbulence in the atmosphere

“Army researchers have designed a computer model that more effectively calculates the behavior of atmospheric turbulence in complex environments, including cities, forests, deserts and mountainous regions. This new technology could allow Soldiers to predict weather patterns sooner using the computers …

Army’s new 3-D printed shape-shifting soft robots crawl, jump, grab

“New 3-D printed robotic structures can squeeze in tight spaces like a crack in the wall of a cave, jump over trip wire or crawl under a vehicle - all complex Army-relevant functions impossible for humans to perform safely. Investigators at …

Army scientists have a blast with aluminum nanoparticles

“Army scientists proved a decades-old prediction that mixing TNT and novel aluminum nanoparticles can significantly enhance energetic performance. This explosive discovery is expected to extend the reach of U.S. Army firepower in battle. Researchers from the U.S. Army …
