This panel, one of 12 to be organized over 2025-2028 to review individual technical competencies covered by the Army Research Laboratory's R&D portfolio, will focus on assessing work related to Weapons Sciences. This panel provides input to the Army Research Laboratory Technical Assessment Board (ARLTAB), which produces an annual report covering each year's partial assessment of ARL.
This panel may access controlled unclassified information (CUI).
An ad hoc committee to be named the Army Research Laboratory Technical Assessment Board (ARLTAB), to be overseen by the Laboratory Assessments Board, will be appointed to continue the function of providing annual assessments of the scientific and technical quality of the Army Research Laboratory (ARL). These assessments will include findings and recommendations related to the quality of ARL's research, development, and analysis programs. While the primary role of the ARLTAB is to provide peer assessment, it may offer advice on related matters when requested by the ARL Director. The ARLTAB will provide assessments over a four-year cycle. Each year three “competencies” for which ARL is responsible will be assessed. The ARLTAB will produce in each of those years a consensus report that provides an assessment of a portion of ARL's program.
