... Research related to active defense and dynamic watermarking for cyber defense of vehicles and other cyber-physical systems was one such effort where commercial vendors are unlikely to provide solutions. This significant cyber vulnerability represents a pervasive problem in most major Army vehicles.

... Assessments of the new modeling capability demonstrate increases in probability of correct prediction of weather phenomena through assimilation of radar data by factors up to one order of magnitude. Human Sciences ARL has developed robust, contextualized human-autonomy teaming research laboratories, and has developed state-of-the-art synthetic task environments and data collection platforms through CyberHuman Integrated Modeling and Experimentation Range Army (CHIMERA)

... Materials and Manufacturing Sciences The advanced solid-state lasers group continues to be one of the "crown jewels" for ARL by driving infrared laser technology with the recent achievement of lasing at 3 microns in new, low phonon energy hosts such as barium fluoride and yttrium lithium fluoride. The sensor protection scientific team is commended for the clever iridium chemistry that is being pursued to develop broadband reverse saturable absorption materials and the GMR filters.
