In addition, useful collegial exchanges took place between panel members and individual ARL investigators outside of scheduled meetings as ARL staff members sought additional clarification about panel comments or questions and drew on panel members' contacts and sources of information. Each panel meeting lasted 2.5 days, during which time the panel members received a combination of overview briefings by ARL management and technical briefings by ARL staff.

In addition to the insights that they gained from the panel meetings, ARLTAB members received exposure to ARL and its staff at ARLTAB meetings each winter. The 2011 ARLTAB meeting focused on the ARL crosscutting research areas, and the 2012 ARLTAB meeting focused on refining elements of the assessment process, including read-ahead materials, review agendas, and expertise required within the panels.

The ARLTAB and its panels reviewed selected examples of the standards and measurements activities and the technological research presented by ARL; it was not possible to review all ARL programs and projects exhaustively. The ARLTAB's goal was to identify and report salient examples of accomplishments and opportunities for further improvement with respect to the technical merit of the ARL work, its perceived relevance to ARL's definition of its mission, and apparent specific elements of ARL's resource infrastructure that are intended to support the technical work.
