ARO Overview
• The Army’s main funding agency for basic research
• Needs and opportunity driven, primarily fund extramural research
– Close collaboration with Army Research Lab and other Army organizations
– Potential ROI
– Balanced research: near-term, mid-term, and long-term needs

“Heavy forces must be more strategically deployable and more agile with a smaller logistical footprint, and light forces must be more lethal, survivable and tactically
mobile. Achieving this paradigm will require innovative thinking about structure, modernization efforts and
spending.”

CISD Thrust Areas
Research and develop methods to facilitate the creation of networked information systems over band limited mobile, wireless networks. This includes processing of sensor information, multi-hop mobile, wireless communication networks, fusing and interpreting data, and processing and presenting data for decision making. Information includes sensor data, and real-time voice, text, graphics, and video. The focus is on theory and fundamental limits of the problems as well as implementable solutions.
ISP Program Research Areas:
– Interpretation of sensor data, including multiple sensor modalities.
– Analysis, fusion, reduction, and representation of data for decision making.
– Data compression and coding, network and quality of service aware.
Develop image feature extraction and modeling, image/video compression, sensor fusion, and energy efficient processing to provide increased performance
and capability for processing signals, data, and information to enhance the warfighters’ decision
making, situation awareness, command and control and methods to improve targeting and the performance of
weapons systems.
Program Goal
Current Coverage
• Data and information fusion
