Scientists in the Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate at U.S. Army Research Laboratory use a range of computational tools in the laboratory, but there are not currently any predictive models for designing advanced materials. The Enterprise for Multiscale Research of Materials will address challenges for computational research.
ADELPHI, Md. (Aug. 15, 2012) — At the U.S. Army Research Laboratory scientists and engineers have been studying how they can make higher performance materials for Soldiers at lighter weights.
Army researchers want to enhance Soldiers’ battlefield effectiveness without placing an extra load on their backs.
The challenge has led to the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, or ARL, Enterprise for Multiscale Research of Materials, made up of in-house research and most recently, two cooperative agreements awarded in April. Researchers will develop materials to protect Soldiers in extreme dynamic environments; and create energy efficient devices and batteries.
