Welcome to the Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD):

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD) is the principal Army organization for basic and applied research in sensors, electron devices, and power and energy to ensure US military superiority. SEDD conducts innovative research in the areas of sensors, electron devices and power and energy to provide the Army with affordable enabling technology in advanced electro-optical technologies; flexible displays; advanced RF technologies; electronic materials and devices; autonomous sensing; micro autonomous technologies; hybrid electric vehicle, platform, and pulse power; directed energy; and micro, soldier, and portable power. We coordinate these technologies within ARL and the Army, with other services and agencies, and with industry and academia, to leverage basic and applied research opportunities for the benefit of the Army.
