Partnership with the U.S. Army
Army research partners are vital to the ISN Mission. They collaborate on basic and applied research, provide guidance on the Soldier relevancy of ISN projects, and participate in transitioning (i.e., technological maturation and scale-up of the outcomes of ISN basic research).
The ISN is sponsored through the U.S.
Army Research Laboratory's Army Research Office in Durham, North Carolina. More than
just a sponsor, the U.S.
Army is an important partner in solving the problems of
the Soldier. While the ISN's nanotechnology approach is new,
scientists at the Army have been working to address Soldiers'
challenges—like excess weight and insufficient ballistic
protection—for decades. The ISN maintains substantial interactions with many Army science and technology laboratories and centers, including:
Army Research Laboratory
Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center
Communications–Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center
Edgewood Chemical/Biological Center
Madigan Army Medical Center
Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center
Picatinny Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center
Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center
US Army Corps of Engineers
US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research
