The researchers are well-qualified to carry out the research problems that they are pursuing and follow rigorous research methodologies and practices. Many of the projects have already resulted in publications in highly visible journals and selective 4 For example, in CISD (where network cyber and information sciences and computational sciences and atmospheric sciences core competencies reside)

atmospheric observations and modeling and computational sciences research, considering both selected, in-depth research presentations and informal discussions surrounding research posters. Projects presented in depth spanned turbulence modeling in complex environments, using a lattice-Boltzmann computational model, understanding the influence of forest canopies on atmospheric dynamics on complex terrain, uncertainty quantification modeling for atomistic-scale modeling, and AI/ML at the edge implemented in field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)

The funding directed to this group by the Army has enabled the researchers to build the next generation of high-technology research tools with which to study human performance in combat simulations both with and without robotic teammates. MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING SCIENCES The research areas reviewed were optical science and photonics, electronics and optoelectronics, and energy science.

From page 8... ...
Dynamic polymer networks research is a unique combination of morphing, self-healing, and shape memory. The non-equilibrium molecular motor research is on the leading edge of bio-hybrid basic research and will help inform ARL to shape its future portfolio.
|
From page 9... ...
Much of the reason for this rapid development is the increasingly common practice of employing open source software to build software platforms. Because of this rapid pace, it will be difficult for ARL to remain competitive within the software development space.
