Strategic University Basic Research Alliance
Abstract
The Strategic University Basic Research Alliance, coordinated by the Army Future Command's University Technology Development Division (UTDD), enables enduring strategic academic partnerships focused on providing academia a gateway to identify, propose, and pursue basic research efforts that may lead to unique solutions for Warfighter problems. This Project supports basic research originating in academia in areas with the potential to impact future Army modernization including, but not limited to, autonomy, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), robotics, network integration, decisive lethality, soldier performance, resulting in high-value, shared-risk partnerships for the enterprise to influence, leverage, and accelerate Army priorities. The Strategic University Basic Research Alliance exploits state-of-the-art research programs at academic institutions to increase the supply of scientists and engineers to advance and enhance research within Army laboratories. This effort conducts basic research leading to potential emerging technologies in sister Projects of applied research and advanced technology areas of strategic importance pertinent to Army prioritization, by bringing competitively selected Universities into strategic Alliances. This approach enables persistent, competitive partnerships fostering deep awareness, knowledge, and expertise for Warfighter modernization efforts. This Project is fully coordinated with PE 0602144A (Ground Technology), PE 0602141A (Lethality Technology), PE 0602182A (C3I Applied Research), PE 0602183A (Air Platform Applied Research), and PE 0602184A (Soldier Applied Research). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command.
