2012 NRL Review: Building a Workforce and Assembling Scientific Tools for the Future

Abstract

THE NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY in Washington, D.C., opened the Laboratory for Autonomous Systems Research (LASR) in 2012. This new laboratory will become a nerve center for autonomy research for the Navy and Marine Corps. The one-of-a-kind laboratory provides specialized facilities to support highly innovative research in intelligent autonomy, sensor systems, power and energy systems, human system interaction, networking and communications, and platforms. The LASR capitalizes on the broad multidisciplinary character of NRL, bringing together scientists and engineers from diverse backgrounds to tackle common challenges in autonomy research at the intersection of their respective fields. The objective of the LASR is to enable continued Navy and Department of Defense scientific leadership in autonomy and to identify opportunities for advances in future defense technology.
