Automotive Research Center (ARC)
Abstract
This project fosters basic research in novel, high payoff technologies that can be integrated into Army ground platforms. The Center of Excellence for Automotive Research is part of the basic research component of the National Automotive Center (NAC), a business group within the US Army Tank-Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC). The Center of Excellence for Automotive Research is an innovative university/industry/government consortium leveraging commercial technology for potential application in Army vehicle systems through ongoing and new programs in automotive research, resulting in significant cost savings and performance enhancing technological opportunities. The research performed in this project contributes to formulating and establishing the basic scientific and engineering principles for these technologies. Work in this project complements and is fully coordinated with work under PE 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology). Selected university partners include: University of Michigan, Virginia Tech, Wayne State University, University of Iowa, Oakland University, and Clemson University. Key industry partners include all major US automotive manufacturers and suppliers. The Automotive Research Center (ARC) formulates and evaluates advanced automotive technologies and advances state-of-the-art modeling and simulation for the Army's future ground vehicle platforms. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by TARDEC, Warren, MI.
