The assessment panels and ARLTAB engaged in many constructive interactions with ARL staff during their annual site visits in 2015. In addition, useful collegial exchanges took place between panel members and individual ARL investigators outside scheduled meetings as ARL staff members sought clarification about panel comments or questions and drew on panel members' contacts and sources of information.

The 2015 ARLTAB meeting refined elements of the assessment process focused on ARL's S&T campaigns, including read-ahead materials, review agendas, and expertise required within the panels. ASSESSMENT CRITERIA During the assessment, the ARLTAB and its panels considered the following questions posed by the ARL director: • Is the scientific quality of the research of comparable technical quality to that executed in leading federal, university, and industrial laboratories both nationally and internationally?

The ARLTAB's goal was to identify and report salient examples of accomplishments and of opportunities for further improvement with respect to the technical merit of the ARL work and specific elements of ARL's resource infrastructure that are intended to support the technical work. Collectively, these highlighted examples for each ARL S&T campaign are intended to portray an overall impression of the laboratory while preserving useful mention of suggestions specific to projects and programs that the ARLTAB considered to be of special note within the set of those examined.
