Building on decades of targeted investments in the scientific community and on a history of collaborating with individual forward-leaning commercial partners, DEVCOM ARL takes teaming to a higher level by following the Tailored Ecosystem Engagement Model (TEEM). In TEEM, the laboratory tailors an engagement strategy where it leverages the unique skillsets and resources across academia, government, and industry both nationally and internationally to collaboratively address Army challenges and opportunities.

DEVCOM ARL maximizes the use of Soldier touchpoints (STPs) and feedback to help shape ARL's vision and its investment decisions early and throughout the research lifecycle, identifying and cutting through barriers to get feedback from Warfighters faster.

DEVCOM ARL continues to place the highest priority on its people. The team talent in our research and business competencies underpin our excellence, speed, agility, and relevance. ARL leverages the whole of national security, industrial, academic, and government talent across research, business, and leadership domains to ensure excellence in support of the Army.

Our mission is to operationalize science

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory, known as DEVCOM ARL, is the Army’s research laboratory. Nested strategically within DEVCOM and the Army Futures Command, ARL’s mission is to Operationalize Science. A hallmark of ARL’s mission is collaborative partnerships to broaden Army access to expert talent and accelerate transitions of science-enabled capabilities.

DEVCOM ARL identifies and executes disruptive research leading to scientific discovery and emerging technologies for Army continuous transformation. This research is based on eleven foundational research competencies: Biological and Biotechnology Sciences; Electromagnetic Spectrum Sciences; Energy Sciences, Humans in Complex Systems; Mechanical Sciences; Military Information Sciences; Network, Cyber, and Computational Sciences; Photonics, Electronics, and Quantum Sciences; Sciences of Extreme Materials; Terminal Effects; and Weapons Sciences.

DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory successfully develops and implements a wide variety of programs and mechanisms that enable us to collectively support Army modernization. Learn more about the many ways we partner with other organizations.

From human sciences to networking, we are always in search of world-class talent ready to provide innovative science and technology to the warfighter. We’re an equal opportunity employer offering student and advanced degree programs, as well as special hiring authority for veteran candidates.
