Annual Review - 2012

Download - (PDF 11.4 MB)

This is the fiscal year 2012 edition of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory(ARL) Annual Review. This publication is our opportunity to provide the reader a brief look at who we are and highlight some of the significant achievements of the past year. We are a diverse organization with a wide variety of research and analysis expertise and capabilities that touch on virtually every area of scientific endeavor. What you will see here will therefore be only a representative sample of the ongoing efforts of the ARL.

ARL's research continuum stretches from early, long-term, basic research to evolving new technologies to support current operations. We organize our research and analysis programs within nine Major Laboratory Programs: Extramural Basic Research, Networks, Human Dimension, Lethality, Protection, Mobility, Power and Energy, Sensors, and Survivability/Lethality Analysis.

The objective of the Network Science Program of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), the Army's corporate research laboratory, is to perform foundational research on network science (NS), leading to a fundamental understanding of the interplay within and among the physical, social/cognitive, information, and communication networks. This research is expected to lead to insights on how processes and parameters in one network affect and are affected by those in other networks. The underlying long-term goal is to optimize human performance and to greatly enhance speed and precision for complex networked military operations.

The Fellows of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) play a critical role in how ARL advances science and engineering for our nation's Soldiers. Their leadership in a broad spectrum of disciplines allows them to continuously promote and maintain our technical excellence in science and engineering and our reputation as a state-of-the-art research laboratory. They are among the best and brightest the Army has to offer and their dedication and devotion to excellence is benefiting those who put their lives in harm's way every day.

The research the ARL Fellows accomplish for the nation is cutting edge-in many cases, their research is hig-risk and can produce game-changing scientific and technological innovations that enhance the survivability and lethality of America's armed forces.

ARL is fortunate to have these world-class individuals. Their work has undoubtedly saved the lives of many American Soldiers throughout the years and has contributed immeasurably to their success as the world's most formidable fighting force.

The Fellows of ARL are and will continue to be examples of exceptional performance to which we can all emulate.

The discovery of novel materials and methods to store more energy and release energy faster is a crucial area of research to address Army needs in both weapons development and lightweight compact power for individual Soldiers, combat vehicles and munitions. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), the Army's corporate research laboratory, is breaking existing paradigms in these areas by developing a rigorous science-based understanding of diverse multidisciplinary domains, integrating theoretical, computational and experimental research. Recently, ARL announced the establishment of Enterprise for Multiscale Research of Materials to create a unique capability for the design of materials that are suitable for extreme dynamic environments and novel electronic and electromagnetic devices. Cognizant of new research initiatives during the past five years, powered by breakthroughs in advanced experimentation and computational chemistry, physics, and materials science, ARL is boldly creating and enhancing the essential computational tools and capabilities to advance these rapidly evolving fields.

The select papers included in this monograph are representative of the high level of theoretical and experimental research, discoveries and achievements of ARL scientists and engineers in energetics science and technology, and in energy storage electrochemical power, focusing on lithium-ion, lithium-air and lithium-sulfur batteries.

The Fellows of ARL are among the best and brightest the Army has to offer to support the men and women who put their lives in harm's way every day in every corner of the world. Their research interests span a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering fields.

Excellence in a research laboratory is dependent, first and foremost, on quality staff. ARL is fortunate to have these world-class individuals. Their work has undoubtedly saved the lives of many American Soldiers throughout the years.

In addition to the excellence in their technical work, we laud the Fellows for their positive influence on the organization.

They are an example of performance to which we can all aspire.
