BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF MEMBERS: ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT BOARD

LYLE H. SCHWARTZ, Chair, NAE, is a retired director of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and currently a senior research scientist with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Maryland. He was a professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern University for 20 years and the director of Northwestern’s Materials Research Center for 5 of those years. He then became the director of the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where he served for more than 12 years. His responsibilities included management of the research and development (R&D) agenda in the context of a government laboratory. Dr. Schwartz subsequently assumed responsibility for basic research on structural materials of interest to the U.S. Air Force, in addition to the areas of propulsion, aeromechanics, and aerodynamics. He then completed his government service as director of the AFOSR with responsibility for the entire basic research program of the Air Force. His current interests include government policy for R&D, particularly for materials R&D; materials science education at K-12 levels; and enhanced public understanding of the roles and importance of technology in society. Dr. Schwartz received both his B.S. in engineering and Ph.D. in materials science from Northwestern University.

The charge of the Army Research Laboratory Technical Assessment Board (ARLTAB) is to provide biennial assessments of the scientific and technical quality of the research, development, and analysis programs at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The ARLTAB is assisted by six panels, each of which focuses on the portion of the ARL program conducted by one of ARL's six directorates1. When requested to do so by ARL, the ARLTAB also examines work that cuts across the directorates. For example, during 2011-2012, ARL requested that the ARLTAB examine crosscutting work in the areas of autonomous systems and network science.

The overall quality of ARL's technical staff and their work continues to be impressive. Staff continue to demonstrate clear, passionate mindfulness of the importance of transitioning technology to support immediate and longer-term Army needs. Their involvement with the wider scientific and engineering community continues to expand. Such continued involvement and collaboration are fundamentally important for ARL's scientific and technical activities and need to include the essential elements of peer review and interaction through publications and travel to attend professional meetings, including international professional meetings. In general, ARL is working very well within an appropriate research and development niche and has been demonstrating significant accomplishments, as exemplified in the following discussion, which also addresses opportunities and challenges.
