Exploiting Technical Opportunities to Capture Advanced Capabilities for Our Soldiers
Abstract
University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs) and University Centers (UCs) are designed to provide critical mass in research areas that meet Army and DoD future needs and anticipated combat requirements. The Army currently has four UARCs and one UC. UARCs are university-led collaborations between universities, industry, and Army laboratories that conduct basic, applied, and technology demonstration research. The universities, considered at the forefront of science and innovation in a specific research area, provide dedicated facilities and share space with Army and industrial participants. The industrial partners provide competence in related technologies, expertise in transitioning technologies from laboratories to markets, and cost sharing. The emphasis for each UARC is to conduct research where breakthroughs are likely to enable revolutionary capabilities for our warfighters.
