This interim report summarizes the findings and recommendations for the first year of this biennial assessment; the current report addresses network and information sciences, computational sciences, and human sciences research core competencies; the remaining competencies will be assessed in 2020 and 2021. It needs to be noted that because a full spectrum of projects and programs within each of the ARL core competencies and the interrelated mapping across all projects and programs of the core competencies was not provided to the ARLTAB, this report represents the assessment on only the projects and programs presented.

atmospheric observations and modeling and computational sciences research, considering both selected, in-depth research presentations and informal discussions surrounding research posters. Projects presented in depth spanned turbulence modeling in complex environments, using a lattice-Boltzmann computational model, understanding the influence of forest canopies on atmospheric dynamics on complex terrain, uncertainty quantification modeling for atomistic-scale modeling, and AI/ML at the edge implemented in field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)

As an enabling, broad-based capability, the computational sciences and BED need to maintain a critical mass of expertise, both for targeted projects and for collaborative engagement with other projects. Similarly, the BED atmospheric modeling research is foundational for many MDO activities, but it would benefit from stronger connections to specific projects.

will excel or be able to keep pace with robotic soldiers, and vice versa, as robotic technology advances. Changes made in the personnel, organization, and structure of the HS core competency area have provided the tools and opportunities needed to make it a national laboratory in the area of cognitive science and robotics for individual human performance as well as for human teams and mixed teams of humans and robots.

Much of the reason for this rapid development is the increasingly common practice of employing open source software to build software platforms. Because of this rapid pace, it will be difficult for ARL to remain competitive within the software development space.
