Welcome to the
home page for the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's (ARL's) Collaborative
Technology Alliances (CTA) Program. On 31 May 2001, as a result of a
competitive procurement ARL established five CTAs in the areas of Advanced
Decision Architectures, Advanced Sensors, Communications & Networks,
Power & Energy, and Robotics. The projected scope of each CTA is
approximately $35 million over five years and $20 million for a three-year
option. The Advanced Sensors CTA ended in May 2007, except for the
Technology Transition Contract, which will remain active through September
2009. The Power & Energy CTA ended in December 2007, except for the
transition contract, which will remain active through September 2009. A new
CTA, Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST), was awarded in 2008.
A significant aspect of the CTA
program is the establishment of a Research Management Board (RMB) for each
CTA that extends participation in the Alliances to other Army organizations
and other government agencies including other Services. Each Alliance is
managed by a senior ARL representative designated as the Collaborative
Alliance Manager (CAM). A provision of the CTA program allows ARL the
right to withhold up to 10% of the annual funding amount to fund innovative
research done by parties external to the CTA program for innovative
research. Inquiries should be made to the CAM. The contact information
for each CAM, technical objectives for each Alliance, and a listing of the
partner organizations are in the CTA Overviews section of the Web page. For
